This is the kind of question that is better sent to the mailing list, so I am CCing my answer there. The number of knots is determined by the values of the k-range of the spline fit and by the value of Rbkg. The number of knots is delta_k * Rbkg * 2 / pi and the knots are evenly spaced in k. Ifeffit (and so Athena) does not allow you to move the knots to different locations nor does it allow you add or remove knots. The AUTOBK algorithm works by making a distinction between data and background in terms of Fourier components. Consequently it *cannot* allow you to move the knots or use more knots, since doing so would change the Fourier components included in the background spline.

error message in help
by Bradley Roberts 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

With Ifeffit 1.2.8, Athena 0.8.047, Artemis 0.8.004 running on OS X and plotting correctly, I'm not able to pull up any of the help windows. In either of the GUI programs, when I click on the Help menu and choose Document (or any of the sub-menu items in Athena) X11 beeps in error, and a window opens with the title "pod" and nothing displayed within the window. I mentioned before that I could not get tk::pod to install correctly via CPAN (the response being) Installing tk::pod FAILED windows would pop up during the make test routine that said: Can't find Pod 'perl' with an OK button and that the Text::English and Tk::HistEntry modules were not installed (though they are installed, says CPAN) I recognize that this is probably more of a Perl/CPAN related question but perhaps someone has seen this problem before. -- Bradley Roberts (br2(a)u.washington.edu) Graduate Student, Department of Materials Science & Engineering Roberts Hall 302 Box 352120 University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195 206-616-7485 lab 206-543-3100 fax

pgplot+Kubuntu+/XWINDOW /XSERVE

Hello. I've been using Ifeffit+horae (VERY GOOD) stuff for a while on my previous Mandrake linux distro. I've changed to Kubuntu now. I have difficulties to install everything on this new laptop. [Please be aware that I use Linux for quite some time now but still consider myself as an "everyday beginner"] I'm stuck at the installation of PGPLOT. I've tried then to install from Mat's PGPLOT_install script but ran into the same kind of error. Here it is: -if I try to install without any driver but the /NULL one, this what it tells: g77 -fno-backslash -o pgdemo1 /usr/local/src/pgplot/examples/pgdemo1.f -L`pwd` -lpgplot -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 /usr/bin/ld: ne peut trouver -lX11 collect2: ld a retourné 1 code d'état d'exécution - if I try with the /XWINDOW and /XSERVE: gcc -c -Wall -fPIC -DPG_PPU -O -I. -I/usr/X11R6/include /usr/local/src/pgplot/drivers/xwdriv.c /usr/local/src/pgplot/drivers/xwdriv.c:127:21: erreur: X11/Xos.h : Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type /usr/local/src/pgplot/drivers/xwdriv.c:128:22: erreur: X11/Xlib.h : Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type /usr/local/src/pgplot/drivers/xwdriv.c:129:23: erreur: X11/Xutil.h : Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type /usr/local/src/pgplot/drivers/xwdriv.c:130:24: erreur: X11/keysym.h : Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type /usr/local/src/pgplot/drivers/xwdriv.c:131:23: erreur: X11/Xatom.h : Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type ... make: *** [xwdriv.o] Erreur 1 Let me add that my examples here are taken from an installation from the PGPLOT source, but I would have the same kind of error messages with Mat's script. In my long struggle I remember I had PGPLOT installed and working correctly (i.e. the demo would work) but without /XWINDOW neither /XSERVE. If I remember well, at that time my desperate attempt had been to delete "|X11" from a LIBS line in the make file. But of course, following up to the installation of horae, I could not have the plotting interface in athena/artemis. I read somewhere that Bruce had some Kubuntus running some where. Maybe somebody else? Did you face this kind of difficulties. Thanks for any kind of advice and please feel free to ask any additional information needed. Cheers denis ps: I'm not a 64 bit linux.

Errors from Webatoms?
by Feng Wang 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hi everyone: I used WEBATOMS(version 1.8), to calculated the feff.inp for Si-K of alpha-SiO2 (quartz phase), using the crystal structure (as listed below) from Wyckoff's Crsytal Structures(P312-313), however, I could not get correct atomic configuration, such as, I did not get the tetrahedron (of 4 nearest neighboring oxygen atoms), I got two n.n. oxygen atoms only, please refer to the results on the bottom. As suggested by Dr. Ravel, I tried the atoms in Artemis, but still I could not get correct feff.inp.Would you please help me to check and suggest, thank you so much. Best regards, Feng alpha-SiO2 crystal structure (from Wyckoff's book): hexagonal, a=4.91304, c=5.40463, space group: p3121 (#152). Si (3a): (-u,- u,1/3), (u,u,0) (0,u,2/3); O: (6c): (x,y,z), (y-x, -x, z+1/3), (-y, x-y, z+2/3), (x-y, -y,-z), (y,x,2/3-z), (-x,y-x,1/3-z). In which, u(si)=0.465, x=0.415, y=0.272, z=0.120.

Feng, Attached is a CIF file for alpha-SiO2 with the same space group (P3121) that you are attempting to use. The major difference that I see in this file compared with your input file is the Si location (0.465 0 1/3) vs. (-.465 .465 1/3). I am no crystallographer so I cannot tell you if a shift vector would make these equal, but this CIF file imports directly into Artemis and does give a 4-coordinate Si-O.

Good morning, I have a question about the R-range in Artemis, i want to fit the first shell region only, but what are the criteria to select the R-range? if i select the first peak just a,little bit different to one fit from the other, the fit get very different. reagards Marcos Eleotério

Athena 0.8.048, Artemis 0.8.005, Hephaestus 0.13
by Bruce Ravel 11 Feb '06

11 Feb '06

Hi, Today I have released version 060 of the source code tarball, which includes Athena 0.8.048, Artemis 0.8.005, Hephaestus 0.13. This is mostly a bug fix release, although both Athena and Hephaestus have minor new features. The problem with displaying documentation should be solved. Please read the release notes at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/HoraeVersion060 New versions of the tarball are at SourceForge and at my website. I built new Windows executables -- a new updater is available and should install the next time you fire up one of the programs. As always, let me know if you run into any problems or have any great new suggestions.
