Xraylib is a library to provide access to data sets from different published works on spectroscopic and imaging techniques using x-ray fluorescence. although the target applications are on x-ray fluorescence, cross sections of interactions like photoionization, coherent scattering and compton scattering, as well as form factors and anomalous scattering functions, are also available.

this package contains the binding to access the xraylib functions from octave, a scientific computation software.

this octave add-on package is part of the octave-forge project.
