XDSGUI is a GUI (graphical user interface) for XDS that is supposed to help both novice and experienced users.  

It graphically displays the ASCII and [http://www.bernstein-plus-sons.com/software/CBF cbf] files that XDS writes, and can run useful shell commands with a simple mouse click. The design goal of the program is to enable XDS data processing without the commandline, and to supply additional graphical information, in a simple, user-modifiable and user-extensible way.

* Menu / Settings is used for setting the name of a "generic library" (e.g. /usr/local/lib64/dectris-neggia.so) for reading HDF5 files, "Paths" for binaries (xds_par, xscale_par, shelxc/d/e, ...), and "Appearance" (font size and default plot height). The Settings menu can be opened on the Mac by going to "Preferences", or pressing the "Command" (⌘) key and the "," key.
