Iguape is a graphical user interface designed to help users during in situ experiments at Paineira. Via Iguape the user can visualize the numerous XRD patterns generated throughout the experiments. The program allows for peak fitting at a selected angle interval.
The GUI has two tabs and concentrate its features in a button panel at the bottom of the window. The XRD Data tab displays the diffraction patterns stacked by a user-defined offset. The Peak Fitting tab displays the data obtained through peak fitting of the XRD patterns on the selected 2theta interval.
When using Linux, you can download Iguape via pip, with the console command:
pip install iguape
iguape #this will open the software, once it's installedFor Windows, a instaler can be found in the following link: Windows Installer
The first step, once Iguape is initialized, is to select a folder to monitor. This can be done by clicking in the Folder option at the upper right corner of the window. It's important that the selected folder contains the iguape_fileslist.txt file. It is though this text document, that Iguape can read the XRD data available at the Folder.
Iguape offers tools for custom visualization of the XRD patterns. These include: XRD patterns offset, 2theta and temperature/measure order masks, zoom, pan and figure saving.
Peak fitting is available in Iguape, helping the analysis of sample evotution during in situ experiments. When the Peak Fit button is pressed, a new window will be opened. The user, then, can configure the fitting model and have a preview of the best fit achieved by Iguape.
