<i>pdCIFplotter</i>: visualizing powder diffraction data in pdCIF format
Matthew R. Rowles
Abstract
A description is given of the program pdCIFplotter . This program is used for visualizing powder diffraction data and models published in powder CIF format (pdCIF). In particular, support for the visualization of multi-pattern data sets, such as in situ diffraction experiments, is provided by means of stack and surface plots. pdCIFplotter is written in Python 3 and can run wherever a compatible runtime is available. TOPAS macros for the production of pdCIF files are also presented.
