PyXRF wiki

PyXRF is a python-based sophisticated fluorescence analysis package for fitting and visualizing X-ray fluorescence data. This package contains a high-level fitting engine, comprehensive command-line/GUI design, rigorous physics calculation and a powerful visualization interface. PyXRF offers some of the unique features as follows.

Automatic elements finding: Users do not need to spend extra time selecting elements manually. Forward calculation: Users can observe the spectrum from forward calculation at real time while adjusting input parameters. This will help users perform sensitivity analysis, and find an appropriate initial guess for fitting. Construct your own fitting algorithm: An advanced mode was created for advanced users to construct their own fitting strategies with a full control of each fitting parameter. Batch mode: Users can easily perform quick fitting of multiple fluorescence datasets or XANES datasets. Interface with NSLS-II database: A specific I/O interface was designed to obtain data directly from BNL/NSLS-II experimental database.
