Added a PVT plot to tool 1. All known bugs fixed.


Xtools is a suite of programmes I am developing that are designed to be of use at the synchrotron during X-ray diffraction experiments performed at high pressure and high temperature conditions. Currently two tools are available:

A PV converter. This converts pressure to volume and vice versa for a variety of important high-pressure mineral phases.

A RFS/Raman converter. This converts pressure determined from ruby fluorescence spectroscopy to pressure determined by Raman spectroscopy of the diamnod anvil and vice versa

The tools are written in Python and are implemented within a Jupyter Notebook, which allows users to operate the tools themselves as well as view the underlying code. It also allows the programmer to add interactive widgets and provide explanatory notes. See jupyter.org to find out more about this incredibly useful open source project.
