BDXV

[edit] Introduction

BDXV is a diffraction image viewing software program. It currently supports images that are 16 or 8 bits in depth, in both little-endian and big-endian order.

BDXV is intended to be a substitute for ADXV , which is why it tries to adhere to the ADXV user interface. However, it is missing many of the advanced features ADXV offers. These "in-progress" items are listed below.

BDXV is distributed in source form, and can be compiled on any system on which GTK 2.0 is supported.

Please keep in mind that BDXV is alpha software. It doesn't crash for the most part, but don't expect miracles either.

[edit] Currently Implemented Features

• Scales a 16 bit image into an 8 bit grayscale color space using histogram equalization or user supplied numbers.
• Grayscale is adjustable in real-time using the depth slider in the control window.
• Can draw a line plot of any cross section of the image
• Can magnify sections of the image in 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, and 64x. In magnifications 32x and greater, pixel intensities are shown.
• Supports zoom levels of 25%, 50% and 100%, as well as auto zoom, which fits the image into the current window size.
• Displays resolution, intensity, and cursor position in the main image window.
• Supports autoloading of images during collection

[edit] Features Not Yet Implemented

• Resolution rings
• Background normalization
• Spot finding
• Predictions

[edit] Installation

BDXV is distributed in source form. It needs GTK 2.0 and all of its dependencies in order to compile. To build, unzip the .tar.gz, run the configure script, and if that doesn't give out any errors, run make. If all goes well, the binary 'bdxv' should appear in the src directory.

To run BDXV, you will need the proper font sets, otherwise it will crash out or look really ugly. In Red Hat, Fedora, or CentOS, install the packages:

  xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi.noarch 
  xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi.noarch

These packages are probably in most other distributions, but the names might be changed around a bit.

If none of that works, send email to yzhou@lbl.gov
