Welcome to the preliminary homepage of the OpenXRD project!

What
OpenXRD is a program for the analysis of X-ray diffraction data.It will
comprise scan treatment (background substraction, peak hunting) as well
as mineral identification. OpenXRD will read almost any available data
format. OpenXRD is free software and published under the GPL.
We will try to establish a free file with mineral data, fed by scientists and given back to scientists. OpenXRD will be available for Linux/Unix, Windows, and, perhaps Macintosh computers. State
Although we have released some source and binary packages for the Linux world, OpenXRD is still alpha-state. The release is just to show that something is going on and where the journey might go. However, it can already be used for AXS-raw files that can be displayed, zoomed, background stripped, and some basic peak searches can be performed. In short, much is done behind the curtain, but it will still take a while, before "just users" take benefit from.
Wanted!
We are looking for
scientists and programmers who would like to join the development of OpenXRD.
Maybe you could contribute to one of the following tasks:
