XRSV-Structure Viewer

(page last modified on Sept.16,1998)
This program allows you to draw Crystal structures on the basis of an inputfile with data on the assymmetric unit. Check also my Java program JSV, which is what once XR95 was meant to be.

main features

• viewing *.cel files or imported *.xyz data (maximum number of atoms around 3000)
• atom info on mouseclick
• atom clipping on mouseclick (creates file "clip.xyz")
• different radii loadable
• calculation of angles between three atoms
• calculation of distances between atoms
• stereo pairs
• on screen helpfile
• integrated inputfile-editor
• PostScript output in color or b/w (shaded atoms or labeled discs)

I included the possibility of importing xyz-data for my own purposes, such as:
1. import of quasicrystal volume sections, in order to cut out columnar clusters
2. using XRSV to visualize reflection data as obtained by the peak search on the diffractometer, in order to facilitate an assignment of indices to these quasicrystal reflections
