Gwyddion is a modular SPM (Scanning Probe Microsope) data visualization and analysis tool. It can be used for all most frequently used data processing operations including: leveling, false color plotting, shading, filtering, denoising, data editing, integral transforms, grain analysis, profile extraction, fractal analysis, and many more. The program is primarily focused on SPM data analysis (e.g. data obtained from AFM, STM, NSOM, and similar microscopes). However, it can also be used for analyzing SEM (scaning electron microscopy) data or any other 2D data.

Recent releases


Changes: Two new modules were added: Selection Manager tool and radial PSDF section extraction. Several bugs or incompatibilities with different format versions in file modules (namely PSIA, RHK, WSxM) were fixed. Layout of previews in file dialogs, broken by Gtk+ 2.16, was corrected. The Win32 installer offers to choose the language to use. LibTIFF is no longer directly used on any platform. Translations were updated. Czech, French, and Russian are more than 90% complete now.


Changes: A Nanoeducator file import module was added. Various small bugs were fixed.


Changes: The data browser now displays channel thumbnails. Three new file import modules were added: Sensolytics, SPIP ASCII export, and MapVue (experimental). The new "Mark With" module can set or modify a mask using the values of another mask, data, or presentation. It is possible to set 3D view z-axis scaling to physically 1:1. Many translatability problems were fixed. There were many other bugfixes and smaller improvements.


Changes: Several bugs in version 2.12's new features were fixed. A new module for import of two-column ASCII files as graphs was added. Inconsistent pixel coordinate rounding in several tools was unified. Translations were updated.


Changes: A possible crash in polynomial leveling was fixed. A crash in Sensofar file loader on 64-bit systems was fixed. The utility gwyddion-thumbnailer for generation of thumbnails was added. A Russian translation has started. There were many small improvements and bugfixes.
