I am pleased to announce the official release of both NeXpy v1.0.0 and nexusformat v1.0.0. Complete documentation for both packages is available online (https://nexpy.github.io/nexpy/).

NeXpy

NeXpy provides a GUI interface to data stored as HDF5 files, particularly those conforming to the NeXus standard. It comprises a simple PyQt GUI that combines a tree view of loaded data, Matplotlib panes to visualize multidimensional arrays, and an IPython shell for manipulating the data and metadata from the command line. NeXpy is intended to be a simple, intuitive, interactive toolbox that allows users to :

• visualize NeXus data rapidly
• make arbitrary projections and slices
• easily compare multiple datasets with synchronized plot windows
• consolidate data from multiple files into single multidimensional arrays with minimal overhead
• perform least-squares fitting of 1D data with a GUI interface to LMFIT
• create new NeXus-conforming data files without expert knowledge of the file format, and
• develop new modes of analysis using a built-in Python script editor.
