DigitalMicrograph™ Script Database
This site presents a collection of DigitalMicrograph™ (DM) scripts and is hosted and maintained by FELMI, Graz University of Technology, Austria. DM is an image acquisition and processing software made by Gatan. The scripts were contributed by different authors from many sites in the world where DM is extensively used. The contents of the database range from simple tasks (e.g. adding annotations to an image) to very complex programs and currently contain 290 scripts submitted by 24 authors from countries all over the world.
At this point help, support, and commitment of all script authors is greatly acknowledged. Without your submissions this site wouldn’t be alive! Thanks for contributing to all of you!
DigitalMicrograph™ Script Database
- Application Related Scripts:
In this category we combine all scripts that actually do something (e.g. save all open images in TIF format).
- Demonstration Scripts:
In this second category we collect scripts that demonstrate the use of a function or a command and can be used as examples for using DM functions.
