Package xrt (XRayTracer) is a python software library for ray tracing and wave

propagation in x-ray regime. It is primarily meant for modeling synchrotron

sources, beamlines and beamline elements. Includes a GUI for creating a

beamline and interactively viewing it in 3D.

xrt is also available as source distribution from
