LaueTools information on BM32 beamline website:

1- Download LaueTools code

---

• the very last version of the code running with python3 is now on github (you are also welcome to fork this project):

  https://github.com/BM32ESRF/lauetools

• last (or older releases) with repository on pypi

  https://pypi.org/project/LaueTools/

  if pip is installed:

  .. code-block:: python

   pip install lauetools
  

• Former LaueTools package written for python 2.7 only (up to June 2019) is no longer maintained and can be found on sourceforge:

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/lauetools/version

But it is highly recommended to use python 3 to take benefit from all capabilities

2a- Launch Graphical User Interfaces of LaueTools

---

• start Lauetools GUIs from command line :

Normally, in a command window (if environment variables are well set) 3 main GUIs can be launched:

> lauetools   for the main GUI
> peaksearch  for batch Laue pattern peak search processing
> indexrefine   for batch Laue pattern indexing and unit cell (strain) refinement
> buildsummary    to compile all results from indexrefine analysis
> plotmap    to plot 2D map of structural quantities from file built previously
> plotmeshgui   to plot 2D map from counters values in (spec) logfile

2b- Use LaueTools module as a library

---

With pip installation, LaueTools package will be included to python packages. Therefore any module will be callable as the following:

-In [1] : import LaueTools.readmccd as rmccd

-In [2] : rmccd.readCCDimage(‘myimage.tif’)

In jupyter-notebook, it is also simple in the same manner:
