diff_tomo - GUI interface for reduction of diffraction tomography experiments

usage: diff_map [options] -p ponifile imagefiles* If the number of files is too large, use double quotes like "*.edf"

Azimuthal integration for diffraction imaging. Diffraction mapping is an experiment where 2D diffraction patterns are recorded while performing a 2D scan. Diff_map is a graphical application (based on pyFAI and h5py) which allows the reduction of this 4D dataset into a 3D dataset containing the two motion dimensions and the many diffraction angles (thousands). The resulting dataset can be opened using PyMca roitool where the 1d dataset has to be selected as last dimension. This result file aims at being NeXus compliant. This tool can be used for diffraction tomography experiment as well, considering the slow scan direction as the rotation.

Bugs: Many, see hereafter: 1)If the number of files is too large, use double quotes "*.edf" 2)There is a known bug on Debian7 where importing a large number of file can take much longer than the integration itself: consider passing files in the command line
