# User guides

These guides cover the decisions and data conventions needed to build an indexing or reconstruction workflow.

Read [Geometry](geometry.md), [Crystals](crystals.md), and [Frame input](frame-input.md) when preparing a new experiment. Use [Parameters](parameters.md) after the default processing behavior is understood. [Results](results.md) defines the returned arrays and their relationships. [Reconstruct a wire scan](reconstruction.md) covers depth-resolved reconstruction of wire-scan points. [Simulation](simulation.md), [detector-view simulation](detector-simulation.md), and [Visualization data](visualization.md) cover scientific analysis and plotting.
