XDSGUI gives access to George Sheldrick's SHELXC, SHELXD and SHELXE programs, via the [[XDSGUI#SHELX|SHELX]] tab, and to Isabel Uson's ARCIMBOLDO programs, via the [[XDSGUI#ARCIMBOLDO|ARCIMBOLDO]] tab. | |||

to display existing 2-dimensional data frames, or to start XDS data processing by displaying a raw data frame.

* "Load" a data file (e.g. FRAME.cbf) or, in case of Eiger HDF5 data, a frame based on a *master.h5 file to have it displayed. The pane can be "dragged" with the left mouse button; the mouse wheel zooms. The parameters in the XDS.INP tab are taken for resolution calculations (i.e. the frame header is not being interpreted in any way). For HDF5 data, the *master.h5 file must be loaded; this will automatically show its first frame (note that for this to work, the path to the correct [[XDSGUI#Technical aspects of XDSGUI usage|"generic library"]] must be specified in Menu/Settings).

* The first item of the left panel ("Show frame with predicted spots") generates the predicted pattern of reflections for a user-specified frame, overlaid on the frame, for display with [[XDS-viewer]]. The file FRAME.cbf (produced by INTEGRATE) is renamed to FRAME_$X.cbf (where X is the user-specified frame number) and remains in the temp subdirectory. It may of course be opened in the FRAME tab, but starting XDS-viewer automatically has the advantage that several frames with predictions may be inspected on the screen, at the same time. Please note: if the XDS directory resides in a FAT32 filesystem (which is often the case on a USB stick or disk), then "ln -s" (of the script line) should be replaced by "cp -p" since FAT32 does not support symlinks. Also note: for the script to work correctly, NAME_TEMPLATE_OF_DATA_FRAMES in XDS.INP has to specify an absolute, not a relative path. | * The first item of the left panel ("Show frame with predicted spots") generates the predicted pattern of reflections for a user-specified frame, overlaid on the frame, for display with [[XDS-viewer]].

* The second item ("Saving and comparing good results") offers commands to save/restore the current data processing files to/from a "save" directory. Make sure to replace "xdiff" with "xxdiff" or "tkdiff", if one of the latter is available. If [http://www.globalphasing.com/autoproc autoPROC] is installed, I suggest to use the "User defined command 2" for <code>mkdir staraniso; cd staraniso; aP_scale -hkl ../XDS_ASCII.HKL; echo anisotropy-corrected files are in staraniso subdirectory</code>. | * The second item ("Saving and comparing good results") offers commands to save/restore the current data processing files to/from a "save" directory.
