GenX is a versatile program using the differential evolution algorithm for fitting, primarily, X-ray and neutron reflectivity data, lately also surface x-ray diffraction data. The differential evolution algorithm is a robust optimization method which avoids local minima but at same is a highly effective. GenX is written in python and uses the wxpython package for the Graphical User Interface (GUI) Screenshot. A model to fit is defined either through a GUI plug-in or via a python script. The possibility to script everything makes it easy to develop completely new fitting model. Clearly, GenX is extremely modular, making it possible to extend the program with models and plug-ins for most fitting problems.
At the present GenX is shipped with models for x-ray and neutron specular reflectivity, off-specular x-ray reflectivity and surface x-ray diffraction. A detailed description, of a older version, has been published in https://www.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?aj5091 .
Feedback and Help: You can find a manual with examples at https://aglavic.github.io/genx/doc/, for reflectometry a good start is with the SimpleReflectivity guide https://aglavic.github.io/genx/doc/tutorials/simple_reflectivity.html and our Tutorial Videos https://aglavic.github.io/genx/doc/tutorials/neutron_fit.html.
Naturally a program does not become better if I do not get feedback from you! If you found a bug or want to have something included in the program submit a ticket on SourceForge at https://sourceforge.net/p/genx/tickets/ .

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install genx, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install genx
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
