A cctbx-style toolbox to describe single-crystal diffraction experiments, where a monochromatic beam is used to illuminate a sample which is rotated during the exposure and diffraction recorded on a flat area detector.
This toolbox will include code for:
Initially implemented to support xia2 development, dxtbx is designed to be extensible, to support other applications and to make it easy to work with other detectors, with a generic approach to reading the data files.
A paper describing how to use dxtbx, as well as documenting its development and some of its applications, was published as J. Appl. Cryst. (2014) 47, 1459-1465.
