XRD Image Generator

Description

The following script converts XRD text files from the Rigaku X-Ray Software with the extension ASC to HTML code with embedded graphs. The description of the file and other information is pulled from the ASC file and displayed together with a small thumbnail of the graph on the main page (index.html). You can click on the thumbnail to see the enlarged picture of the graph. The graph is automatically normalized to counts/min. as calculated from the rate and spacing given in the source file. All the information is stored in a subfolder. The graphs are generated with gnuplot and parsed with perl.
