Welcome to Spview’s documentation!

This is the documentation of version 2.0.

SPVIEW is a cross-platform application for graphical assignment of high-resolution molecular spectra. It is possible to load, display and manipulate experimental and simulated spectra (XY ASCII format) as well as handle spectra in various formats (including HITRAN format). The lines can be assigned graphically using the mouse. Assignments can also be changed or deleted. Local simulations can be performed, for example, to facilitate assignment to partially resolved line groups. SPVIEW is also capable of producing peak lists from an experimental spectrum.

Ideally, Spview should be used with XTDS, which calculates spectra using the Dijon spectroscopy group techniques based on group theory and tensorial formalism, and produces files that can be used in Spview.

It is being developed at the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne in Dijon, by the MARS group.

It’s free software, you can change its source code and distribute your changes.
