Launching Gwyddion

Once installed, gwyddion shows up in NORTH's tool launcher for any file in an upload with one of the following extensions: dm4, tif, tiff, wip, wit, spm, or ibw. Selecting it starts a container with:

  • the full Gwyddion desktop application, opened directly (default_url: /desktop), with Gwyddion auto-started rather than a bare desktop;
  • the triggering upload mounted at /home/jovyan, so files in that upload are visible from within Gwyddion's own file browser.

See the Tutorial for a walkthrough, and the Gwyddion user guide and supported file formats for how to use the software itself.

Attention

Only files saved back under the mounted upload directory are persisted as part of the upload. Anything written elsewhere in the container is lost when the session ends.
