Getting started with Fable

This page is reserved for a Users guide to getting started with Fable.

The applications which are available are listed in the side bar, this is what they do:

• PolyXSim : Simulations of diffraction patterns for multigrain samples, useful to estimate spot overlaps
• NearField Simulation: Simulations of diffraction patterns for multigrain samples, from grain maps, so including grain shape.
• Preprocessor: A graphical front end to the spd software package for correction raw images from 2D x-ray detectors
• ImageD11: Processing of 2D x-ray images via peak searching, instrument calibration, indexing and grain refinement
• GrainSpotter: Grain Indexing program
• Fabian: 2D x-ray diffraction image viewer
• Fabric: Integration of peak intensities from 2D x-ray diffraction images and multi-grain samples
• ImageViewer: 2D x-ray diffraction image viewer
• Peaksearch: Graphical interface for the ImageD11 peaksearch module
• Transformer: Graphical interface for an ImageD11 instrument calibration module

The recommended way to try out these applications is to :

1. install them individually by following the instructions for each application, or
2. install the fable workbench.
