Asunto: [geo-metamorphism] XMapTools software

Dear Members,

We are pleased to introduce our new Matlab-based software for X-ray
image processing : XMapTools.

This new Graphic User Interface (GUI) allows for the automatic
allocation of the pixels in an image for a range of compositions (e.g.
minerals) using a clustering approach. Thus, each mineral pixel is
transformed into an oxide composition using a Castaing approach and
point mode analysis (details can be found in De Andrade et al. 2006).
The maps of oxide composition can be translated into maps of
structural formulas or into pressure and temperature maps using
empirical and semi-empirical geothermobarometers from the literature.
The XMapTools package includes two additional modules with a GUI for
chemical studies. Structural formulas of all the pixels in each
mineral can be plotted into binary (Chem2D) or ternary (TriPlot3D)
petrological diagrams.

This package and the User Notice can be download for free on our
website : http://www.xmaptools.com/

This first public version (v1.5.2), includes ~50 functions, and also
new functions can be easily added by users and will be included in the
future releases/updates.

We hope you will find this program useful for petrological studies.
Anyone interested should contact us for further details (contact form
