Q-vector display convention

Description (last modified by Vickie Lynch) (diff)

Mantid uses the inelastic scattering convention Q=ki-kf. This confuses the single crystal diffraction people who are accustomed to Q=kf-ki.

Add a feature for all displays (PeaksWorkspace in a table, splatter view of VATES simple gui, slice view, ...) to apply the -1 for Q-vector and hkl values. This should be selectable, with a default value set in the instrument geometry/parameter file.
