=================================================
Launch Graphical User Interfaces of LaueTools
=================================================
- start Lauetools GUIs from command line :

To deal with relative import, the package name ‘LaueTools’ must be specified to the python interpreter as following

	Examples:

	- python -m LaueTools.LaueToolsGUI

	- python -m LaueTools.GUI.LaueSimulatorGUI

	- python -m LaueTools.GUI.PeaksearchGUI

The first main GUI, LaueToolsGUI can open also the two last GUIs (LaueSimulatorGUI, PeaksearchGUI) 

There are additional basic GUIs for batch processing located in FileSeries folder:

	- python -m LaueTools.FileSeries.Peak_Search
	- python -m LaueTools.FileSeries.Index_Refine
	- python -m LaueTools.FileSeries.Build_summary
	- python -m LaueTools.FileSeries.Plot_Maps2

- within interactive python (say, ipython -i), GUI can be started thanks to a start() function:

	- In [1] : import LaueTools.LaueToolsGUI as LTGUI

	- In [2] : LTGUI.start()

.. note::
	in the LaueTools folder :

	- neither > python LaueToolsGUI

	- nor in >ipython -i :  > run LaueToolsGUI  will work…


Use LaueTools module as a library
**************************************

With pip installation, LaueTools package will be included to python packages. Therefore any module will be callable as the following:
 
	-In [1] : import LaueTools.readmccd as rmccd

	-In [2] : rmccd.readCCDimage(‘myimage.tif’)

In jupyter-notebook, it is also simple in the same manner:
