diffsims is an open-source python library for simulating diffraction.

If simulations performed using diffsims form a part of published work please cite the DOI at the top of this page.

diffsims is released under the GPL v3 license.

diffsims requires python 3 and conda - we suggest using the python 3 version of Miniconda and creating a new environment for diffsims using the following commands in the anaconda prompt::

$ conda create -n diffsims
$ conda activate diffsims

The recommended way to install diffsims is then from conda-forge using::

$ conda install -c conda-forge diffsims

Note that diffsims is also available via pip::

$ pip install diffsims
