xfab - A Python based Crystallography Package

xfab is a python library, which was originally written to support the Python based software in the FABLE package. A software package that is used to analyse and simulate X-ray diffraction patterns of complex polycrystalline samples. The development was initially sponsored by the EU Framework 6 programme for the project TotalCryst

The main part of the code has been written by Henning Osholm Sørensen and Jette Oddershede, DTU Risø, Frederiksborgvej 399, 4000 Roskilde.

xfab consist of several modules:

• tools
• symmetry
• detector
• atomlib
• sglib
• sg
• structure

The code relies on a few other Python packages

• numpy
• PyCifRW
