FWIW I have used it on several occasions to understand how diffraction looks for different settings.  For example, when I was working on amyloids on the cspad detector I would run it like this:

rstbx.simage.wx_display unit_cell=24.1460,4.8614,22.2291,90.000,107.319,90.000 wavelength=1.452514 detector.distance=111 detector.size=194.15,194.15 detector.pixels=1765,1765 ewald_proximity=0.042500 point_spread=20

Twiddle the rotx, roty and rotz.  It's nifty.

I don't see any reason to kill this code.

This appears to be true: looking through cctbx_project, dials, labelit, phenix, phenix_regression I found no references apart from the tests that sparked this thread.
I would just remove it for retirement - it will be preserved in the history.

As far as I recall rstbx/simage was a research project by Ralf that hasn't been touched for over 5 years, and isn't used by any code outside of rstbx/simage. Could this code be potentially "retired" somewhere outside of cctbx?

Dear colleagues,

Accidentally I found out that this command:

rstbx.simage.solver d_min=5 lattice_symmetry=P422 intensity_symmetry=P4 index_and_integrate=True multiprocessing=True
finishes with traceback.

It is run as part of
phenix_regression/misc/tst_rstbx.csh

The second problem is that test_all_parallel script fails to detect an actual failure.

It would be great if somebody who is in charge of rstbx and testing could look at this.

Best regards,
Oleg Sobolev.
