Dear Matt and Carlo and Liam,

I agree with Matt and Carlo that phase corrected plots are not a great idea, I 
think they lead people to forget that they are not looking at a radial 
distribution function  and encourages people to think they can read distances 
off  a plot of the amplitude of the FT of overlapping sine waves reliably.

Thanks
Fred

Hi Liam,

Yes,  this is not currently available.  It would not be hard to enable, but I 
am not sure it is a great thing to do. I admit that I sort of find that 
phase-correction plots need a lot of explanation, and so are prone to causing 
confusion.  They might be useful for Pt metal, but they cannot really be 
correct for multi-atomic systems.  Well, I guess "correct" is not the only 
consideration ;).

I guess I would ask if there are suggestions and input from people teaching 
XAFS on whether phase corrections (and probably a handful of other "tricks"
or analysis variations) are actually useful or just confusing.
