I like your sens of humor :)

Yes I think that it is a good way to provide a normalize information for all binary
packages provides by a source one.

Yes thoses geometries are well known of peoples doing X-Rays diffraction.
For the mode part I am wondering if I need to speak about them. bissector + constant omega
is too restrictiv for me. Maybe addind something like:
For each of these, plenty of numerical computed mode are provided (bissector, constant psi, etc...)
In fact the plus-value of this library is that all modes compuation is done using a numerical resolution.
so it is really powerfull compare to the the one only done by invertimg mathematical system by hand.

Yes :)
what about
diffractometer computation control library.
In fact this library only do calculation to send diffractometer at the right position.
usually a diffractometer 4 circles has 4 axes and you need to set the right values
for each of thoses axes. so this library gives you the values.
Thanks
