[Ifeffit] [EXTERNAL] Ifeffit Digest, Vol 119, Issue 15

When making my own feff input file, how should the data be delimited.  When looking at existing feff input files I see a mixture of different spaces and tabs and am unsure how I should separate coordinates, ipots, tags, etc.
Thanks,
Todd

Hi Bruce,

Again, sorry (ever so slightly -- the skiing was great!!) for the
delay.   I think (not 100% sure) I understand have solved the trouble
with wxmplot on ubuntu.

On an ubuntu 12.04 system (that had been upgraded a few times, and is begging to be updated to 12.10), I saw that importing wxmplot raised an error because maplotlib requires wx version 2.8 or greater but a regular old "import wx" was using the antique wx 2.6 series. I would be tempted to say that ubuntu is acting strangely by assuming "import wx" means "oldest possible version of a library", but  I'm sure fixing at my end is easier than fixing all installed Ubuntu systems.

I've updated wxmplot to version 0.9.11, which now correctly requires wx 2.8 or higher.  You should be able to now do easy_install or install with 'python setup.py install' from the wxmplot-0.9.11 source kit linked at http://newville.github.com/wxmplot/installation.html

I also had to make sure that larch was insisting that wx 2.8 or higher was being used.  These changes are now pushed into the github distribution.

With these changes, I could successfully install wxmplot and larch on
an Ubuntu.   I think that must be the same problem you were seeing,
but I'd be happy to hear your experience.

--Matt

Thanks Bruce. Till the time i look into the suggested works, here is the missing informations.
Question: how to check the appropriateness of the self absorption correction? I don't have corresponding transmission data.
The question came to my mind when i compared the uncorrected (of courese corrected for dead time) data and the corrected (with SiO2Eu0.002 formula; the formula corresponds to the mole (roughly atom)percentage. The edge jump enhanced after correction to ~1 from ~0.04.
Material: Eu(III) sorbed on silica.
