The principal properties of radiative Gaunt factors for complex ions, and integrals over them that occur in plasma physics are summarized. A set of numerical methods for their evaluation is described, suitable for computation of intermediate accuracy results for large numbers of ions over extended parameter ranges. Illustrative results from the computational implementation of the methods are given. The techniques apply to bound–bound, bound–free and free–free cases.
