Dans_Diffraction is package to read cif files and simulate diffraction patterns, among other things.

It uses python and requires libraries numpy and matplotlib, plus tkinter if using the graphical interface.

Install stable version from PyPi:
`$ python -m pip install Dans-Diffraction`

Or install the latest version from GitHub:
