Welcome to the NeXus Constructor wiki!
The NeXus Constructor is a GUI application for creating/visualising NeXus files containing geometry information. It contains a 3D view of space in which components will be displayed according to their geometry information as well as transformations and pixel data.
The program uses the Qt Widgets approach through the 'Qt for Python' (aka 'PySide2') bindings. It is an official set of bindings produced by Qt. Unfortunately documentation for it isn't easy to come by so we hope this wiki can help.
This wiki consists of two main sections:
- Developer Notes - a resource that aims to compile and explain noteworthy features (or quirks) of the program so that developers know what they're working with. Consult this to get a general view of the program.
The NeXus definitions are included as a git subtree. They can be updated by running the following command:
git subtree pull --prefix definitions [email protected]:nexusformat/definitions.git master --squash
