What is Linxtl?

Linxtl

Linxtl is a super handy app that makes analyzing scientific data a breeze! It's designed to help you work with specific files while keeping things simple and easy to use.

Features of Linxtl

This program comes packed with tools for SHELX, reflection, and crystallographic analysis. You can quickly generate structural solutions and even whip up materials for publication.

File Support

Linxtl is built on Python, so it can load different types of info files like SHELX (*.res or *.ins), Reflection (*.hkl), or Crystallographic (*.cif) documents. If you need to tweak any parameters or values, you can easily do that and save the changes right back into the source file!

User-Friendly Interface

The interface is straightforward, although all the commands are tucked away in menus. On the left side, there's a small vertical toolbar that lets you switch between view modes: LST, CIF, and PCIF—perfect for those crystallographic files!

Basic Text Editing Tools

As a text editor, Linxtl gives you all the basic functions you'd expect: cut, copy, paste, delete, select all, undo, and redo. Everything you need to manage your data efficiently!

Advanced Options Menu

The Options menu has tons of useful tools. You can set atomic occupancy factors based on selected text or even modify molecular formulas. Plus, you can remove Q peaks and H atoms easily.

Weight Refinement & More

If you're into weight refinement or need to relabel C/N/O/F atoms, Linxtl has got your back! It also helps with sorting atoms and finding duplicate labels.

Disorder Functions

You'll find separate menus for SAINT and Disorder functions too. This means you can apply special settings just for those specific files.

No Installation Needed!

The best part? Linxtl is super easy to use; there's no installation required! Just make sure you've got Python installed along with the wxPython library. To get started with the text editor, simply open Linxtl_no_console.pyw, which you'll find in the program's archive.
