Description: NSXTool is a software for reducing single-crystal data. It implements in a single application all the steps necessary for integrating the intensities of Bragg's peaks prior to structure determination. Some of the key features already implemented are fast data reading, peak search, peak indexing, UB matrix determination, instrumental offsets refining, space group determination, absorption correction, and peak integration. It is made of a core library written in C++ with a GUI written in Qt and a Python API. A special care was brought to design a generic enough core library for integrating easily any instrument through a simple user-defined configuration file. The project was started at the ILL, Grenoble, France in 2013 (Eric Pellegrini and Laurent Chapon) and became a collaborative project with FRMII, Munich, Germany since 2016 (Jonathan Fisher, Alexander Schober and Joachim Wuttke).
