30EXPGUI is a graphical interface for the
31<A Href="http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/programs/crystallography/software/gsas.html">
32GSAS</A> package.
33It allows two types of actions:
[202]34it can be used to directly modify the GSAS
35experiment file with a graphical user interface (GUI) and
36it can be used to invoke the programs inside the
37GSAS package such as EXPEDT, GENLES, FOURIER...
38These programs can be run from a menu or in many cases by pressing buttons.

[202]177<h3>A.6 Constraints pane</h3>
[148]178<DL><DL>
179GSAS offers two types of restraints that can be included in a model.
180So called "soft constraints" or "restraints" penalize the fit if
181aspects of a model (for example, bond lengths) differ from selected values.
182So called "hard constraints" reduce the actual number of
183parameters in a model,
184by grouping parameters so that a single shift (possibly scaled) is
185applied to each parameter in the group.
[202]186The constraints pane is used to set these "hard constraints."
[148]187At this time the only constraints that can be set in EXPGUI are on atomic
188parameters (others can be set in EXPEDT).
189<P>
[202]190Note that these constraints are only applied to shifts but not to the
191actual values. This means that, for example,
192if two atoms
[148]193are constrained so that the shift on their occupancy is the same, but
[202]194the initial occupancies differ, the in occupancy difference will not change
195as the values refine.
[148]196<P>
[202]197<H4>Atom Constraints</H4>
198The atom constraints editing pane appears below. Note that constraints can
[148]199be listed sorted by constraint number, phase number, lowest atom number or
[202]200variable by clicking on the buttons at the top of the pane.
[148]201<P>
202To delete one or more constraints, click on the appropriate checkbuttons in the <B>Delete</B> column and the press the Delete button, below.
203<img SRC="mc.gif" align=TEXTTOP>
204Due to the way GSAS implements these constraints, a parameter can be included
205in only one constraint. Should one or more parameters be constrained twice,
206an error message is shown as shown below.
207Note that the constraint number is displayed as red, for constraints that
[202]208have conflicts in the constraints editing pane (see above.)
[148]209<img SRC="mcerr.gif" align=TEXTTOP>
210<P>
211<img SRC="mcedit.gif" align=LEFT>
212<img SRC="mcvar.gif" align=RIGHT>
213When the edit button for a constraint is pressed, the constraint is
214opened for editing. Controls are available to select the phase, variable,
215multiplier and atom(s). Note that for atom selection, use of the control key
216and the left mouse button allow individual atoms to be selected or deselected.
217Shift and the left mouse button allow ranges of atoms to be selected and the
218right mouse button selects all atoms
219<A href="#mouseactions">(see Mouse Actions)</A>.
220<P>
221Note that it is inappropriate
222to constrain different types of parameters together, for example X and Uiso.
223The left-most variable button is the "master" which
224determines what variable are allowed in the
225other variable buttons.
226<P>
227When the "New Constraint" button is pressed, a blank constraint editing
228window is opened. Note that any variable to the right may then be selected,
229including two special codes, Uxx and XYZU. XYZU creates four constraints,
230requiring the shifts on x, y, z and Uiso to be the same for all the selected
231atoms. Uxx does the same for the six anisotropic displacement parameters.
232These special codes are valuable for atoms that share a site.
233<P>
234Note that only 100 parameters may be included in a constraint,
235with one exception. When shifts for Uiso for all atoms in a phase
236are constrained, this counts as a single parameter. If more than 100
237parameters are entered for a constraint, an error message is shown.
238Up to 2000 atomic constraints may be entered.
239EXPGUI does not warn if you exceed this limit.

243<h3>A.7 Preferential Orientation Pane</h3></a>
244The Preferential Orientation Pane is used to control parameters related
245to fitting parameters using the March-Dollase formulation
246for preferred orientation. In this model one or more axes are designated
247as directions [designated by (<i>hkl</i>)] where crystallites are over
248(Ratio > 1) or underrepresented (Ratio < 1).
249The checkbox to the right of the Ratio value determines if it will 
250be refined.
251<img SRC="po1.gif" align=TEXTTOP>
252If more than one axis is present, one must define the relative fraction
253of preferred orientation for each direction. These fractions are normalized,
254so do not vary the fractions for all directions in a phase.
255<img SRC="po2.gif" align=TEXTTOP>
256If
257<A href="#multiplehistogram">
258"Multiple Histogram Selection" mode</A> is set to any value other than
259"Off", all terms are displayed for all selected histograms.
260No attempt is made to group terms or flags.
261<P>
262Note that the other model for treating preferred orientation -- the orientation
263distribution function (spherical harmonics) is not yet implemented
264in EXPGUI and must be accessed from EXPEDT.

[202]269<h3>B.1 Multiple Histogram Selection</h3></a>
[24]270<DL><DL>
271This mode allows parameters to be changed for groups of
272histograms.
273When the "Multiple Histogram Selection" mode is off,
274it is possible to modify parameters
275and refinement flags for only a single histogram, but
276the other settings allow groups of histograms
277to be selected and modified.
278<A href="#mouseactions">(see Mouse Actions)</A>.
279
280It does not make sense, however, to globally modify
281instrument-related parameters and flags for different
282histogram types.
283So global actions can be limited to a single class
284of histogram types (e.g. TOF, CW Neutron,...), which
285allows these parameters to be set for groups of
286similar histograms. Thus, if this mode is set to "All"
[202]287the Histogram and Profile panes are disabled.
[24]288<P>
289The setting for "Multiple Histogram Selection" mode is
290selected using the "Multiple Hist. Selection" item on the
[115]291Options menu to create a submenu. Also on this submenu is an option
292"Group Phases Together" that controls how EXPGUI treats phases having
293the same profile type when multiple histograms are selected. If
294the "Group Phases Together" option is on, then the refinement flags for
295all phases with the same histogram types are grouped together, when possible.
296If this option is off, phases are treated separately.

302A range of atoms or (in multiple selection mode) histograms may be
303selected by dragging (holding down) the left mouse button. It is also
304possible to select a range by using the Shift key with the left mouse
305button. To select or deselect individual entries, use the Control key
[96]306with the left mouse button. Pressing the right mouse button selects all

[202]354<h3>C.2 Options Menu</h3>
[24]355<DL><DL>
356This menu contains options that determine how EXPGUI runs.
357<DL>
358<DT>archive EXP<DD>Toggles archiving of .EXP files. When on, files are
359        saved prior to each save or run of expedt in a file named
360        [expnam].EXP.xxx.gz where xxx = 000, 001 (UNIX)
361        or in a file named [expnam].ZIP or  [expnam].xxx (Windows)
[148]362<DT>Use DISAGL Window<DD>When this option is set, results from DISAGL are
363         shown in a separate window. When it is not set, the results are
364        written in the .LST file.
[202]365<a name="sortatoms"></a><DT>Sort atoms by<DD>   Determines the order that atoms are displayed on the "Phase" pane
[24]366        Atoms may be displayed sorted by atom number, atom type,
367        or by x, y or z
368
[202]369<a name="sorthist"></a><DT>Sort histograms by<DD>Determines the order that histograms are displayed on the
370        Histogram, Scaling and Profile panes
[24]371
372        Histograms may be sorted by histogram number, histogram type,
373        original bank number, or diffraction angle/wavelength
[115]374<DT><A href="#multiplehistogram">Multiple hist. selection</A><DD>
375        When this mode is off, it is possible to modify parameters
[24]376        and refinement flags for only a single histogram. For other settings,
377        it is possible to modify parameters and flags for groups of
378        histograms (see help for Mouse actions).
379
380        It does not make sense, however, to globally modify
381        instrument-related parameters and flags for different histogram types.
382        So global actions can be limited to a single class of histogram types
383        (e.g. TOF, CW Neutron,...), which allows these parameters to be set
384        for groups of similar histograms. Thus, if this mode is set to "All"
[202]385        the Histogram and Profile panes are disabled.
[24]386<DT>Override backspace<DD>This option is available in UNIX only, as there are different
387        ways that backspace can be implemented. When option is set
388        as "On," the backspace key is overridden to send a "delete"
389        character. If backspace does not work in a program such as
390        EXPEDT, change try the other setting for this option.
[96]391<DT>Autoupdate EXP<DD>Normally EXPGUI prompts before rereading the EXP
392file when GENLES, POWPREF,... are run (this is so that one can change
393the experiment file and rerun with the current input). If this option is
[148]394set, the new file is automatically read without a prompt.
395This option is not available in Windows.

514<P><B>LSTVIEW</B>
515
516<P>lstview is used to browse through the GSAS output listing. It is
517invoked by the "lstview" command in the GUI.

521<P><B>LIVEPLOT</B>
522
523<P>liveplot shows the observed, calculated and difference plots for powder
524refinements. The plot is updated as the refinement progresses. The mouse can
525be used to zoom in on sections of the plot.
[148]526Liveplot uses the <A href="#blt">BLT</A> graphics package.
[96]527<CENTER><IMG SRC="liveplot.gif"></CENTER>
[26]528<IMG SRC="new.gif" HEIGHT=13 WIDTH=36>
529LIVEPLOT can now be enhanced to superimpose peak locations for
530input unit cells or peaks from JCPDS/ICDD entries.
[96]531See the <A HREF="expgui_cfg.html#liveplot">
[26]532LIVEPLOT customization information</A> 
[37]533or read file <tt>expgui_cfg.html</tt> in the <tt>gsas/tcl/doc</tt> directory.
[66]534<P>
535LIVEPLOT gets the current diffraction information by running the TCLDUMP program, if installed, or
536HSTDUMP otherwise. The TCLDUMP program has been optimized for use with LIVEPLOT and offers a number of extra
537options that are not available when HSTDUMP is used: plots can be displayed in the native units (2Theta/TOF/KeV), or
[154]538in d-space or Q; fixed plus fitted background curves are shown in green; if reflection tickmarks are displayed, <IMG SRC="new.gif" HEIGHT=13 WIDTH=36>
539reflection tickmarks can be displayed by pressing "H" or "h" while the
540mouse is near a reflection (holding the shift key while
541pressing the left mouse button also works).
[66]542See the installation instructions for installing TCLDUMP.
[26]543<P><B>WIDPLT</B>
544
[148]545<P>WIDPLT can be used to plot the actual peak widths generated by the profile
546parameters used in GSAS.
547It is possible to define reference curves
548that are loaded automatically.
549WIDPLT uses the <A href="#blt">BLT</A> graphics package.

[26]555<H2>
[148]556BLT</H2>
557The BLT graphics package is used by the WIDPLT and LIVEPLOT routines. If the
558package can not be loaded these routines, an error message,
559"Error -- Unable to load the BLT package", will be displayed. A frequent
560problem is the package is installed, but not configured so that common
561support routines are loaded automatically. If this is the case,
562a message, "BLT Setup Error: could not access a Blt_ routine...",
563will be displayed.
