Utilize Cinema: Debye-Scherrer

[briantoby]

The LANL Cinema: Debye-Scherrer visualization package looks nice. What would be needed to allow GSAS-II to generate files that could be used in that?

@briantoby If you don't mind, I'll take this task. Since it's quite extensive for all methods, I'll start by implementing the integration with Cinema: Debye-Scherrer for the powder diffraction method (which I have some experience with). After that this solution can be extended to the remaining methods.

@AndrewKuncevich I have very little familiarity with Cinema: Debye-Scherrer, but it does look like a very graphical package. It might be worth some time to think about what sort of information can "ingested" from GSAS-II, what information, if any, might be produced in Cinema that would be useful to have GSAS-II read. My thought had been to create a new project-level exporter for Cinema, but that might not be optimal. Would you like to meet to discuss this further?

@briantoby Sure, we can arrange a meeting, but perhaps in a few days. I’d like to prepare better—analyze the code and explore Cinema in more detail first.

I am away all this week in any case. Please let me know if you would like to meet and your time zone so we can figure the best time of day (I will be in US EDT). Best to move this to e-mail: username toby & domain anl.gov.

I sent a message to the email.

This has largely been completed in the associated branch (cinema).
