XrayDB has been used to generate X-ray Periodic Tables of the Elements.  These
are built using latex and the Python code and Makefile in `poster folder`_.

There is a choice of two sizes, and a choice of an image of one of four
prominent scientists associated with the Periodic Table and X-ray
spectroscopies.

**Table of X-ray Periodic Tables of the Elements** The poster comes in two sizes:
Large is 127.5x61 cm (about 50x24 inches) and Medium is 91x45.5 cm (about 36x17 inches).
