XDS-Viewer is a program for viewing X-ray diffraction and control images in the context of data processing by the XDS Program Package (external link). Potential users of the software are scientists working in the field of crystallography. The XDS-Viewer is a standalone program which has build-in support for a subset of the Crystallographic Binary File Format CBF (external link). Other file formats are supported through an external conversion program that comes with XDS. XDS-Viewer will automatically invoke the conversion program for images other than CBF. This implicates prior installation of the XDS package so that all programs of the package are within the search path for executables.
XDS-Viewer is written in C++ and Qt 4 and works on most UNIX/Linux based systems. XDS-Viewer is licensed under the terms of the General Public License Version 2 (GPLv2). For details visit the Sourceforge project page.
