Graphical User Interface
This package provides a GUI interface to quickly investigate the absorption and transmission of x-rays through different materials. This tool is similar to that provided the Center for X-ray Optics. To install the dependencies to use the GUI:
pip install -e .'[gui]'
You can then run it locally with the following command:
bokeh serve --show <roengten_directory>/gui
