Version @IFIT_VERSION@ - @IFIT_DATE@
:warning: this project has been moved to https://gitlab.com/soleil-data-treatment/soleil-software-projects/ifit
Purpose
This library aims at providing basic functionality to achieve some of the general tasks needed for scientific data analysis: Load, Plot, Save, Fit, Math operations, define and use Models
It also includes specific 'applications' for neutron scattering:
- instrument simulation and optimisation using McStas http://www.mcstas.org
- neutron scattering triple-axis spectrometer (TAS) resolution calculation 'ResLibCal' http://ifit.mccode.org/Applications/ResLibCal/doc/ResLibCal.html
- neutron scattering time-of-flight spectroscopy S(q,w) analysis. See http://ifit.mccode.org/Neutron_Scattering.html
- lattice dynamics 4D S(q,w) computation using ASE and DFT codes, which can be coupled to ResLibCal. See http://ifit.mccode.org/Models.html#mozTocId990577
Requirements
Requirements for standalone (binary) package: NONE Stand-alone versions do not require a Matlab license, and have no dependency except the Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR). This latter is included in some of the packages (Mac OSX), or has to be installed separately (Windows, Linux). You can get the MCR installer at http://ifit.mccode.org/Downloads/binary
Under MacOSX, you may need to install Java 6. Get it at: http://ifit.mccode.org/Downloads/binary/mac64/javaforosx.dmg
Requirements for Source package
Matlab (any version from 7.x, R2007a), possibly a C compiler for the looktxt
and the cbf_uncompress MeX.
Installation
Installation from Source package Copy the library directories where-ever you want or in MALTAB/toolbox/local: /home/joe/Matlab/iFit or /opt/MATLAB/R2010a/toolbox/local/iFit
Then start Matlab and type in, e.g.:
>> addpath(genpath('/home/joe/Matlab/iFit'))or
>> addpath(genpath('/opt/MATLAB/R2010a/toolbox/local/iFit'))Installation for standalone (binary) package Install the MCR (see above, prefer /opt/MATLAB location on Linux systems), then extract the iFit binary package and launch 'ifit'.
MacOSX Drag and drop the iFit icon into your Applications folder. To open the standalone App the first time, use Ctrl-Click on the icon.
If you get an error dialogue stating you need Java 6, install it from: http://ifit.mccode.org/Downloads/binary/mac64/javaforosx.dmg
Quick start type at Matlab prompt:
>> addpath(genpath('/path/to/iFit'))
>> doc(iData)Then refer to the Quick Start tutorial (in iFit/Docs/QuickStart.html).
The miFit interface will be automaticaly opened. It allows to drag-and-drop data files, plot them, do basic data treatment, fitting, export, ...

This is not a professional tool, and there is no Dev team to actively take care of it. Expect occasional failures and bugs. However, I try my best to make the software efficient and reliable.
