NEWLAUE - Laue Simulations and Auto-indexing

Abstract

The program NEWLAUE may be used to generate and display Laue patterns given basic information such as cell parameters, the crystal to image distance, theb wavelength range, minimum d-spacing, crystal type and setting. As well as simulating normal Laue diffraction images, the program will also simulate Gnomonic projections. The program is designed to run on terminals with ANSI text support and a T4010 type of graphics screen. The program has an option to determine the crystal orientation via an auto-indexing procedure based on the manual selection of nodal spot positions from the Laue diffraction image.

Documentation

A user documentation file is available in html format. The suite is distributed with a plain text file equivalent.

Availability

The program is distributed as part of the Laue Software Suite.
