Jscatter, a program for evaluation and analysis of experimental data.

The aim of Jscatter is the processing of experimental data and physical models with the focus to enable the user to develop/modify their own models and use them within experimental data evaluation. The basic structures dataArray and dataList contain matrix-like data of different size including attributes to store corresponding metadata. The attributes are used in fit routines as parameters allowing multidimensional attribute dependent fitting. Several modules provide models mainly applied in neutron and X- ray scattering for small angle scattering (form factors and structure factors) and inelastic neutron scattering. The intention is to provide an environment with fit routines, data handling routines (based on NumPy arrays) and a model library to allow the user to focus onto user-written models for data analysis with the benefit of convenient documentation of scientific data evaluation in a scripting environment.
