Thanks everyone. The liveplot way is very simple... but so am I, so I like it very much.

After you choose your graphic output (any of them would be the same), the next screen offers option A which is an ascii file written using the selected options. If you have only one histogram you will still need to select it by typing "H 1" before being able to write the output file. If you want to change x-axis units, toggle on tickmarks, etc you will also need to do it before saving the pattern. If trying to export a conventional X-ray pattern that was the only one included in the refinement I would typicaly type: C (choose graphic output for visualization) N (I don't want to save graphic output in ps or eps format) H 1 D M T (select histogram 1, show difference curve, show tickmarks, use 2theta as x-axis units) P (plot the pattern in the screen, check that everything looks like I expected) A (export the pattern as it is shown, you'll be asked to enter an 8-character name without extension and the file will be saved as NAME.TXT) IMHO LIVEPLOT makes a nicer treatment of the tickmarks giving a separate x-axis/phase list of positions. Easier to handle when you have more than one phase with significant peak overlap. Hope this helps.

I am open to suggestions on other ASCII formats for data export -- but be prepared to research that format so you can tell me exactly what needs to be written.

How can I extract the information in powplot (in GSAS) for use in another package e.g. excel ? i.e. how can I get the x and y values of Refined pattern, histogram and residual?
