Introduction

The IPLT diffraction processing pipeline provides an automated way to process and merge electron diffraction data sets. I can be accessed either from the command line using the two command iplt_diff and iplt_diff_merge or the GUI using the command giplt_diff_manager.

The following sections will give a introcution of the diffraction data extraction and merging. A more in depth explanation of the algorithms involved in the diffraction processing can be found in:
