Dear Ruggero,
I think you seemed to look more or less in the right places. I see three
problems in the the dummy script you sent:
1) I am not sure which version or xrayutilities you are using but
reasonable up to date versions the material definition would need to be
sam = xu.materials.material.Crystal('sample1', xu.materials.SGLattice(1,
*abcabg))
2) Since you say you are describing a four circle machine you should likely
use FourC
hxrd = xu.FourC(sam.Q(-2, 0, 0), sam.Q(0, 0, -4), en=energy)
you then will need to specify chi and phi in your call to Ang2HKL
3) Ang2HKL takes an optional parameter dettype [1]. This should in your
case likely be set to 'area'
h,k,l = hxrd.Ang2HKL(omega, chi, phi, towtheta, U=ubmat, dettype='area')
h,k,l should then be matrices of the shape (Nch1, Nch2) for every angular
position you specify. If you specify arrays of angles h,k,l will be three
dimensional arrays with according dimensions.
I hope this helps.
kind regards
Dominik
