USER-DIFFRACTION
README
This package contains the commands neeed to calculate x-ray and electron diffraction intensities based on kinematic diffraction theory. Detailed discription of the computation can be found in the following works:

User-diffraction includes:
- compute_xrd : calculate x-ray diffraction intensities as a scattering angle (2theta)
- compute_xrd_consts.h : coefficients used for x-ray atomic scattering factors listed by element
- compute saed : calculate 3D diffraction intensities for the purpose of creating selected area electron diffraction patterns
- compute_xrd_consts.h : coefficients used for electron atomic scattering factors listed by element
- fix saed/vtk : writes 3D diffraction intensity data calculated with "compute saed" in vtk format
See the doc pages for these commands for detailed usage instructions.
There are example scripts for using this package in examples/USER/diffraction.
