xdsgui

Graphical user interface for XDS data processing: visualizes control images and statistics, helps with writing XDS.INP.

How it is built

Upstream ships a prebuilt, unversioned Linux binary at a fixed URL, so the module version is the download date. pbuild::install wgets xdsgui and the generate_XDS.INP helper script from https://wiki.uni-konstanz.de/pub/linux_bin/ into $PREFIX/bin and marks them executable.

Loading the module puts $PREFIX/bin on PATH and auto-loads the runtime dependencies H5ToXds/1.1.0, xds/20260616 and autoPROC/20240710 (xdsgui calls xds and the helper tools).

Verifying the install

module use MX unstable && module load xdsgui/<version>
which xdsgui generate_XDS.INP   # both under .../xdsgui/<version>/bin
module list                     # H5ToXds, xds, autoPROC pulled in
xdsgui                          # on a node with X forwarding; GUI opens

Adding a new version

Add the new download date under versions: in files/config.yaml, then on a Ra login node: modbuild build <version> (modbuild/2.1.2).
