* '''Documentation''': [[cansas1d_documentation]]
* '''Definitions''':  [[cansas1d_definition_of_terms]]
* '''Block diagrams''': [[cansas1d_documentation#block_diagrams]]
== XML Schema ==
* '''XML Schema''': defines the rules for the XML file format ([http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS/browser/1dwg/trunk/cansas1d.xsd TRAC], [http://svn.smallangles.net/svn/canSAS/1dwg/trunk/cansas1d.xsd SVN])
* [[xsd-documentation.xsl | XSL stylesheet]] (used to extract information shown on the [[cansas1d_definition_of_terms | Schema documentation page]])
== XML Stylesheets ==
Stylesheets could be used to strip out the metadata or to convert into another file format.  No examples have yet been described here.
== Examples and Case Studies ==
* [[cansas1d.xml | basic example]]: Note that, for clarity, only one row of data is shown.  This is probably a very good example to use as a starting point for creating XML files with a text editor.
* [[bimodal-test1.xml]]: Simulated SAS data to test size distribution calculation routines.
* [[cansas1d_casestudy_collagen | dry chick collagen]]: illustrates the minimum information necessary to meet the requirements of the standard format
* [[cansas1d_casestudy_af1410 | AF1410 steel]]: SANS study using magnetic contrast variation (with multiple samples and multiple data sets for each sample)
* [[cansas1d-template.xml]]: This is used to test all the rules in the XML Schema.  This is probably not av very good example to use as a starting point for creating XML files with a text editor since it tests many of the special-case rules.
== Support tools for Visualization & Analysis software ==
=== IgorPro ===
An import/export tool for [http://www.wavemetrics.com/ IgorPro] has been created
([http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS/browser/1dwg/trunk/IgorPro/cansasXML.ipf cansasXML.ipf]).
You can check out the <nowiki>IgorPro</nowiki> working directory from the SVN server (see below).
As of 2008-03-14,
* test suite of XML files developed
* the support can import the XML files into IgorPro
* Development of a GUI (to support the [http://usaxs.xor.aps.anl.gov/staff/ilavsky/irena.html Irena] package) has begun
* Development to add export capabilities (from IgorPro) back to the cansas1d/1.0 format has begun
== Software respoitories ==
* '''TRAC''':      [http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS]
* '''TRAC''':      [http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS]
