How to edit or add crystal structures in the crystal list for OASYS? #77

Closed gwax09 closed 5 years ago

gwax09 commented 6 years ago

In XOP, the "Crystal.dat" file in "my XOP directory\data\dabax" can be editted. Then I can change the lattice constant of the crystals. I failed to figure out a way to edit the structure in OASYS. Would you please suggest how to edit or add crystal structures in the crystal list for OASYS-XOPPY, or SHADOW? Thanks,

Hi,

Currently the python bindings do not support adding new crystals to the internal array. I will look into fixing this for the next release. However, even then, OASYS itself will need to be modified to take advantage of this feature.

I will keep this ticket open until things have been fixed on the xraylib side of things...

Many thanks for reporting this.

Tom

xraylib has now support for adding crystals to the internal array from python.

However, for this to work in XOPPY or SHADOW, @srio or @lucarebuffi will need to add support for it though...
