Application layout¶

The interface follows the same analysis workflow as the User guide. The top bar selects a page, the central workspace shows its main view, and the sidebar contains the related controls.

Main regions¶

Choose a tab to inspect each region. These four areas stay in the same places on every workflow page.

Overview Workflow navigation Main workspace Sidebar Status bar

The page bar, main view, sidebar and status bar stay in the same places as you work.

Move between Home, Project, Structure, Experiment, Analysis and Report.

Inspect the experiment view here. Its content changes with the active page and selection.

Use the enabled Main, Extra, Text and Settings tabs to inspect and edit this page.

Read project counts, messages, calculation and fitting state here.

Following the workflow¶

Move through the pages from left to right. Within each page, work down the sidebar from top to bottom.

Workflow pages¶

Page	What you do here
Home	Start an analysis, learn the interface and find help.
Project	Create or open a project and record its details.
Structure	Load and inspect the crystal structure, cell and atom sites.
Experiment	Load measured intensities and configure the instrument, profile and background.
Analysis	Choose free parameters, run fitting and inspect the fitted pattern and results.
Report	Review and export a report of the analysis.

Main contains the primary controls for the active page. Extra and Settings add controls where the page has them. Every page has a Text tab with the .edi text a save writes for what the page shows. Its Show box picks Editable, text you can change and apply with ✓, or Everything, which adds the measured data and results and is read-only. A disabled tab has no available view in the current state.

The page views below introduce each enabled tab. Then follow Example fit to build the analysis step by step.

Selection and messages¶

Selecting a structure or experiment changes the model being inspected. The status bar reports the project state, messages and fitting progress. Its Fit button runs the fit from any page. Read messages after importing data or when an operation is refused.

Choose Overview for the whole page. marks a main-view tab; marks a sidebar tab. Only enabled tabs are shown. Analysis and Report show the completed fit.

Home¶

Start an analysis, learn the interface through built-in tutorials, read about EasyDiffraction, open the documentation or get in touch.

Project¶

Overview Project Main Extra Text

Create or open a project and keep its details together.

Read the project details, location, structures and experiments in one view.

Create or open a project, browse built-in examples and return to recent work.

Choose how standard uncertainties are displayed in the project data.

Inspect or edit this page's project data in its text representation.

Structure¶

Overview Structure Main Extra Text

Inspect the crystal structure and edit its symmetry, cell and atom sites.

Inspect the selected crystal structure and its unit cell in the interactive view.

Select a structure and edit its symmetry, cell, atom sites and displacement parameters.

Adjust the structure appearance and scattering-length settings.

Inspect or edit this page's project data in its text representation.

Experiment¶

Overview Pattern Main Extra Text Settings

Compare the measured pattern with the calculation and configure the measurement model.

Compare measured and calculated intensities, reflection marks and the residual pattern.

Choose an experiment and edit its instrument, profile, background and linked structures.

Configure intensity corrections, scattering sources and background estimation.

Inspect or edit this page's project data in its text representation.

Choose which parameters are shown and how the displayed pattern updates during a scan.

Analysis¶

Overview Pattern Correlations Main Extra Text Settings

Choose parameters to fit, run the fit and inspect the pattern and parameter correlations.

Inspect the fitted pattern, residual and agreement factors for the selected experiment.

Inspect correlations between fitted parameters to identify strongly coupled values.

Choose free parameters, inspect their values and bounds, and adjust the selected value.

Configure fitting modes, minimizers, parameter aliases and constraints.

Inspect or edit this page's project data in its text representation.

Choose which parameters are shown and how the displayed pattern updates during a scan.
