        Introduction
        ------------
        
        RadialX is a python package for working with x-ray
        powder diffraction data and for simulating
        x-ray powder diffraction patterns from models.
        
        The most complete documentation is available at
        http://pythonhosted.org/radialx/.
        
        Documented Functionalities
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        At present, the only documented functionalities of RadialX are
        
        1. The simulation of powder diffraction patterns
           from PDB files using the utility called **powderx**.
        
           If you wish to create simulated powder diffraction
           patterns, please see the documentation at
           http://pythonhosted.org/radialx/.
        
        2. Displaying of diffraction image header information
           using the utility called **headerx**.
        
        Undocumented Functionalities
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Other, undocumented, functionalities correspond to "modes" of the
        utility called **profilex**:
        
        - *centering*: Finding the centers of powder diffraction images
          in adxv_ binary format.
        - *averaging*: Radial integration (not averaging!) of one or
          more experimental powder diffraction patterns in adxv_ binary format.
        - *averaging*: Scaling of several powder experimental or simulated
          diffraction patterns to a single experimental or simulated pattern.
        - *difference*: Calculating the difference of two scaled
          radially integrated experimental powder diffraction patterns.
        
        Although **profilex** is fully functional and heavily tested, its
        user interface (i.e. config file format, etc.) is very likely to
        change. For example, the modes will probably be split into different
        different utilities.
        
        It is hoped that the entire RadialX package
        will be fully documented soon.
