Txarray

Txarray is a Python library designed for the analysis of X-ray diffraction data. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for reading, processing, and visualizing diffraction patterns. The library aims to simplify common tasks encountered by researchers in fields such as materials science, crystallography, and solid-state physics.

Key functionalities of Txarray include support for various common diffraction data formats, allowing users to import data from different instruments and software. It offers data reduction capabilities, such as background subtraction, peak fitting, and intensity normalization. The library also includes tools for transforming data between different representations, like reciprocal space and real space.

Txarray emphasizes ease of use and integration with other scientific Python libraries like NumPy and SciPy, enabling seamless incorporation into existing workflows. The visualization module allows for the creation of informative plots of diffraction data, aiding in interpretation and analysis. The project is open-source, fostering community development and contributions. Its development is driven by the need for efficient and flexible tools for handling the increasing volume and complexity of X-ray diffraction experiments.
