Although a wide number of computer codes -and data sets are reported in literature, none of them is presented in the -form of freely available library functions which can be easily included in -software applications for X-ray fluorescence. This work presents a compilation -of data sets from different published works and an xraylib interface in the -form of callable functions. 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. - -xraylib provides access to some of the most respected databases of physical -data in the field of x-rays. The core of xraylib is a library, written in ANSI -C, containing over 40 functions to be used to retrieve data from these -databases. This C library can be directly linked with any program written in -C, C++ or Objective-C. Furthermore, the xraylib package contains bindings to -several popular programming languages: Fortran 2003, Perl, Python, Java, IDL, -Lua and .NET, as well as a command-line utility which can be used as a -pocket-calculator. Although not officially supported, xraylib has been -reported to be useable from within Matlab and LabView. - -Reference: T. Schoonjans, A. Brunetti, B. Golosio, M. Sanchez del Rio, -V. A. Solé, C.
