FRIB SpecTcl is a histogramming program with a low learning curve. The embedded Tcl/Tk scripting language makes layering graphical user interfaces a simple process. An alternative based on Python bindings for C++ is offered. It adopts common Python libraries for basic and more advanced numerical algorithms. The GUI is written on PyQt5 for modularity and extensibility.
FRIB releases are versioned using version names of the form M.m-eee where M is a major version number, m a minor version number and eee is an edit or patch level. This version numbering system is similar in nature to the semantic versioning and you can think of M.m-eee as corresponding to a semantic version number of M.m.eee
Releases will, in general, have several files. The files labeled 'Source Files' are generated by github. The files named something like spectcl-M.m-eee-dist.tar.gz are source tarballs generated by us using:
make dist
Files named spectcl-M.m-eee-distro.tar.gz are binary tarballs that can be rolled into the /usr/opt filesystem of containerized environment using the FRIB containers for the 'distro' environment e.g. spectcl-5.13-003-bullseye.tar.gz is a binary distribution for the Debian bullseye container image for version 5.13-003.
