For basing lines
This requires ruby, but no other gems. Isn't that nice? To check if you have ruby installed on your system, open up the command line and type:
ruby -v
If you don't have ruby, this website should help you install it.
Once you have ruby installed, either download this as a zip or clone it from github. Once you have it set up, you may want to put it in your $PATH
.
The standard syntax for baseline is:
baseline fit [--terse] [--out=FILE] [--beamstop=BS] FILE
Use the --terse
flag to get a very terse file with just formatted data in it. Use --beamstop
to indicate the domain of the beamstop. By default, data will output to STDOUT - redirect with pipes or with --output
.
You can also make graphs with this, if you have gnuplot installed on your machine. To check if you have gnuplot installed, try:
gnuplot --version
To make shiny graphs:
baseline graph [--professional] [--terse|--verbose] [--beamstop=BS] [--out=location] FILE
Use --professional
for publication-type graphs without helpful markers, --terse
or --verbose
to control output as the graph is being made, --beamstop
and --out
as above. This will cause baseline to run gnuplot and give you a .png
file in the same directory as the PXRD file.
