BGROUND :: semi-automated background subtraction

• BGROUND performs semi-automated correction of background in XY-data.
  • XY-data = usually a file with two columns - (X-data,Y-data)
• How does it work?
  • BGROUND reads XY-data and shows them in an interactive plot
  • The user defines background points and backround types
  • BGROUND does the rest (background calculation and subtraction)

Installation

• Requirement: Python with sci-modules: numpy, matplotlib, scipy, pandas
• pip install bground = standard installation, no other packages needed
