The diffpy.utils.diffraction_objects module provides a set of powerful functions for analyzing diffraction data.
DiffractionObject(): This function creates a diffraction object that stores your diffraction data and associated information. If awavelengthis specified, it can automatically populate data across different independent axes (e.g.,q,tth, andd).on_xtype(): This function allows developers to access diffraction data on different independent axes (q,tth, andd). It is useful when you need to convert or view the data between axes, working with the axis that best fits your analysis.get_array_index(): This function finds the closest index in the independent variable axis (xarray) to a targeted value. It simplifies the process of working with different spacing.scale_to(): This function rescales one diffraction object to align with another at a specific value. This is helpful for comparing diffraction data with different intensity values or lengths, ensuring they are directly comparable and visually aligned.copy(): This function creates a deep copy of a diffraction object, allowing you to preserve the original data while making modifications to a separate copy.dump(): This function saves both diffraction data and all associated information to a file. It also automatically tracks the analysis time and software version you used.
