LauePt is a robust and extremely easy‐to‐use Windows application for accurately simulating, indexing and analyzing white‐beam X‐ray diffraction Laue patterns of any crystals under arbitrary diffraction geometry. This program has a user‐friendly graphic interface and can be conveniently used by nonspecialists with little X‐ray diffraction or crystallography knowledge. Its wide range of applications include (1) determination of single‐crystal orientation with the Laue method, (2) white‐beam topography, (3) white‐beam microdiffraction, (4) X‐ray studies of twinning, domains and heterostructures, (5) verification or determination of crystal structures from white‐beam diffraction, and (6) teaching of X‐ray crystallography.
