Plugins

The capabilities of this package can be expanded by adding custom plugins to it. Currently, plugins of the type refinement interface are implemented. Such a plugin for the application Profex is included in the package. It allows you to perform full pattern refinements if the application is installed on your machine, the refinement results are added to the measurement folder.

Refinement interfaces

Refinement interface plugins integrate third party applications which allow you to perform full pattern refinements of your measurements and import the results into the measurements directory. Which allows you to access the refinement results by the Python API of xrd-tools. Currently, the refinement interface plugins listed underneath are available.

• xrd_tools.plugins.refinement_profex

Warning

A working version of the corresponding third party application has to be installed on your machine.

If you want to integrate a certain application, this refinement interface plugin template can serve as a scaffold to create a module for it.
