| 27 | 6. Plot data using POWPLOT or LIVEPLOT |
|---|
| 28 | </H1> |
|---|
| 29 | At this point in the GSAS tutorial in the manual, |
|---|
| 30 | program POWPLOT is used to plot the diffraction data. This |
|---|
| 31 | is done by pressing POWPLOT button in the button bar, or |
|---|
| 32 | by pressing the POWPLOT menu item in either the Powder menu |
|---|
| 33 | or the Graphs menu. The input supplied to POWPLOT and the |
|---|
| 34 | results are the same as what is shown in the menu, so this will |
|---|
| 35 | not be shown. |
|---|
| 36 | <P> |
|---|
| 37 | EXPGUI does offer another way to display diffraction data, LIVEPLOT. |
|---|
| 38 | Similar to the way POWPREF was run in the previous step, |
|---|
| 39 | LIVEPLOT can be started by pressing LIVEPLOT button in the button bar, |
|---|
| 40 | or by pressing the LIVEPLOT menu item in the Graphs menu. |
|---|
| 41 | <P> |
|---|
| 42 | <img src="liveplot1.gif" align=left> |
|---|
| 43 | Since no cycles of refinement have been run, |
|---|
| 44 | after LIVEPLOT generates a blank screen, it must be |
|---|
| 45 | triggered to read the POWPREF output by pressing the "Update Plot" |
|---|
| 46 | item in the File menu. |
|---|
| 47 | A plot similar to the one to the left. |
|---|
| 48 | <BR clear=left><P> |
|---|
| 49 | <img src="liveplot2.gif" align=left> |
|---|
| 50 | Note that the region plotted can be changed by clicking with the left |
|---|
| 51 | mouse button, two outline the region to be shown, as seen to the left. |
|---|
| 52 | When the left mouse button is pressed a second time, the graph is "zoomed in," |
|---|
| 53 | as is shown below. |
|---|
| 54 | To "zoom out" to the previous region, press the right mouse button. |

|---|
| 58 | <img src="liveplot4.gif" align=left> |
|---|
| 59 | Reflection positions can be marked, using the File/Tickmarks menu. |
|---|
| 60 | <BR clear=left><P> |
|---|
| 61 | <img src="liveplot5.gif" align=left> |
|---|
| 62 | Reflection indices can be displayed by pressing the "h" (or "H") key in the |
|---|
| 63 | position of the reflection to be labeled. The size and time before |
|---|
| 64 | the reflection labels are removed is determined by values in the Options/HKL labeling menu. |
|---|
| 65 | <BR clear=left><P> |
|---|
| 66 | There are many other options available in LIVEPLOT in the Options menu. The |
|---|
| 67 | Appearance and location of the tickmarks can be set. The symbol and symbol size |
|---|
| 68 | used for observed data can be selected. |
|---|
| 69 | The X and Y units can be changed to Q or d-space values. Background |
|---|
| 70 | can be subtracted. The legend can be removed from the plot. |
