Description-en: Scanning Probe Microscopy visualization and analysis tool
Gwyddion is a modular program for Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) data
visualization and analysis. It is primarily intended for analysis of height
field data obtained by microscopy techniques like
* Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM),
* Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM),
* Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM),
* Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy (SNOM or NSOM)
and others. However, it can be used for arbitrary height field and
image analysis.
.
This package contains the main application and its modules. It also contains
a GNOME (and Xfce) thumbnailer which creates previews for all file types known
to Gwyddion.
.
Gwyddion's Python scripting interface Pygwy is also included.
