d2Dplot is a plotting program for 2D X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. Its main purposes are to be user friendly, to provide specific tools to manage 2D XRD data. The basic processing available for 2D XRD data includes the conversion between data formats, summation and subtraction of frames, background estimation, definition of excluded zones, instrumental parameters calibration, the conversion to 1D XRD data and the generation of azimuthal plots. It also includes a set of tools for the application of the tts-μXRD metodology with peak finding and integration capabilities and a frontend to the tts_software. The program also includes a compound database for easy phase identification directly on the 2D image.

d2Dplot development started in 2013 as a tool to visualize the orientation search results of microvolumes (tts_software and related methodologies), and as complement to develop the technique. The program started to grow quite a lot since then and became a tool to visualize diffraction images, useful for other general uses. It was a personal closed source project actively maintained until 2020. From August 2022 the program is open source and licensed under the GPL-3.0 license. Sorry if the code is not compliant with standards, is a little bit messy and contains comments in catalan. Feedback to the author would be greatly appreciated.

The purpose of the database system implemented in the program is the creation of a personal compound database by the users. The authors of the program (or their institutions) take no responsibilities in respect of where the data is taken from or its correctness. The default DB is a small selection of 60 compounds coming from different sources. Each entry contains the reference from where it has been taken (with the respective authors). If any of these entries should be removed (for whatever reason) please contact the author and they will be removed immediately.
