The nanodiffraction toolbox is a set of tools developed at the Institute for X-ray Physics (University of Göttingen, Germany) to facilitate analysis of complex diffraction signals. It offers a modular workflow that separates data reading from data analysis and visualization. Each module contains useful data treatment methods, however, key functions are provided that function without the more complex module constructs.

Special attention is paid to the readability of the underlying code base, as readable code is likely to be shared more often. Therefore, the toolbox can be seen as an API that should be usable also by unexperienced programmers.

The toolbox has been developed within the framework of the Sonderforschungsbereich 937 - Collective behavior of soft and biological matter (DFG-SFB 937). Funding by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) is gratefully acknowledged.
