SPV File Format

Availability and Use of SPV

Spview uses its own file format for easy project management. Files are of type xml and have the extension .spv. They are created by Spview and can be used to quickly open several work files such as predictions, experimental spectra, etc…

• They are identified by the spview icon .

• They contain the absolute path of all files, and therefore need the source files to open. Moreover, moving the source files renders the .spv files invalid.

• These also contain the zoom, offset values and many information used to view the spectra.

• Double-clicking on a file opens the associated project in spview.

Here’s an example of such a file, once indented:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Project>
   <Version />
   2.0.2
   <Zoom>
      <xmin>700.0</xmin>
