Description : comprehensive XAS data analysis system using Feff and Ifeffit or Larch
Demeter provides an object oriented interface to the EXAFS data
analysis capabilities of the popular and powerful Ifeffit package and
its successor Larch. Given that the Ifeffit and Larch APIs involve
streams of text commands, this package is, at heart, a code
generator. Many methods of this package return text. All actual
interaction with Ifeffit or Larch is handled through a single method,
dispose, which is described below. The internal structure of this
package involves accumulating text in a scalar variable through
successive calls to the various code generating methods. This text is
then disposed to Ifeffit, to Larch, to a file, or elsewhere. The
outward looking methods organize all of the complicated interactions
of your data with Ifeffit or Larch.
This package is aimed at many targets. It can be the back-end of a
graphical data analysis program, providing the glue between the
on-screen representation of the fit and the actual command executed by
Ifeffit or Larch. It can be used for one-off data analysis chores --
indeed most of the examples that come with the package can be reworked
into useful one-off scripts. It can also be the back-end to
sophisticated data analysis chores such as high-throughout data
processing and analysis or complex physical modeling.
This package will be maintained within the Perl team on salsa.
