Mantid

The Mantid Framework has been created to visualise, manipulate and analyse neutron and muon scattering data. Mantid can be used though several Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) and programming languages, including:

• MantidPlot, the original interface supporting a wide range of techniques and visualisation approaches.
• :ref:`MantidWorkbench <workbench>`, A modern interface with growing supports for a list of techniques.
• Autoreduction services at specific facilities, including ISIS and the SNS.
• API's for :ref:`Python <pythonapi>` and C++.

Documentation

This is the documentation for Mantid |release|.

Getting Started:

• :ref:`mantid_basic_course`, takes you through installing and basic use of Mantid through Mantidplot, including loading, visualising and fitting data.
• :ref:`training`, links to further self paced courses and learning resources.
• :ref:`Mantid Matplotlib Plot Gallery and Examples <plotting>`, details of how to make pretty plots and manioukate them via Python.
• :ref:`muon_GUI_course`, focuses on the reduction and analysis of muon data collected from any of the ISIS muon spectrometers via a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Reference Documentation:

• :ref:`Algorithms List`, specific details for all of our algorithms including descriptions of all inputs and parameters .
• :ref:`workbench` provides details on the new graphical user interface with matplotlib-based plotting.
• :ref:`concepts contents`, deeper background information on the fundamental concepts within Mantid.
• :ref:`interfaces contents`, descriptions of the bespoke technique interfaces available.
• :ref:`fitting contents`, details of all the supported fitting functions and minimization approaches.
• :ref:`techniques contents`, with further information relevant to some of the specific scientific techniques.
• API's for :ref:`Python <pythonapi>` and C++.
• :ref:`release_notes`, a catalog of all of the release notes since v3.5.2.

Other Help and Documentation:

• A forum, to ask for help, report issues, and discuss with other Mantid users.
• A built in error-reporter. We really encourage you to use this, as it helps us to make Mantid more stable in future.
