It's a principle of software design not to presume any kind of
equidistant data. Unfortunately, file formats for non-equidistant
data are seldom. So I could not implement any in BGMN, until now.
But, in principle, there is no restriction.

Representing data in Q space is fine for viewing etc... but the conversion
from 2Th to Q needs a little thought. If unequal Q steps is not a problem
then a straight conversion is ok. However if someone is going to use that Q
data for further analysis then it is important to use the original data or
at least know where it came from for reasons I gave in a previous reply to
the mailing list which I have included again below.
In other words if a diffractomer or some other instrument collect data in Q
space at equal steps and this data is compared to data collected at 2Th then
the match wont be 100% depending on how the conversion is done.
Most importantly is that data from one or the other should not be thrown
away.
Thus to discuss the question of archiving data in Q space means
understanding the data conversion principles.
