WavePropaGator

WavePropaGator (WPG) is an interactive software package for X-ray wavefront propagation simulations, developed for users at free-electron laser (FEL) facilities, synchrotron sources, and future storage rings. The package uses the Synchrotron Radiation Workshop (SRW) C/C++ library and its Python binding for numerical wavefront propagation simulations. WPG allows varying source parameters and optics layouts, and visualizing the results interactively. It also offers a batch propagation mode for processing multiple wavefronts in workflow mode. The package is distributed under an open-source license and has been tested on Linux, Microsoft Windows 7, and Apple Mac OS X.
