Hi everyone,

I am working on CBF file recently(crystallographic binary file), which is a compressed data format, and in order to use it in Igor I need to uncompress it. there seems a C code to do that job. How can I use that code to work in igor environment? Thank you.

Cheers,
Thank you for your replay.

the CBFLIB suppose to contain a uncompress mechanism and what I would like to achieve is to cooperate this procedure with igor. so far I didn't figure out how.

other wise we need to call the external function then, does that means I need the XOP toolkit?

If you want to use CFLIB to read the file then you have to write an XOP (C or C++ plug-in). For that you need the Igor XOP Toolkit, a suitable development system, and intermediate C or C++ programming skills.
