Crystal Designer

I give permission for our program to be included on the Info-Mac CD-ROM. Abstract: CrystalDesigner is a tool for building, studying and visualising all kinds of crystal structures. CrystalDesigner is an ideal tool for both teaching and scientific studies. The software is intended to be used by students and teachers at colleges and universities, as well as in industrial research. What's new in CrystalDesigner 7.0? CrystalDesigner now allows visualisation of atoms on the corners of the co-ordination polyhedra. Further more, these atoms may be selected and if desirable deleted. If a corner atom is deleted, the co-ordination polyhedron will automatically be redrawn according to the new co-ordination. Beginning with this release it is also possible to record QuickTime movies. Additional main features: - Corner atoms of a co-ordination polyhedron may now be displayed and the size of the corner atoms may be adjusted by the end user - Colour shaded polyhedra may be displayed alternatively with black frames, colour frames or as previously without frames. - QuickTime movies may be created by adding frame by frame manually or by automatically recording all user actions. - Additional rotation controls have been added to allow a continuously rotation or a rotation by a given angle of the graphics. - Improved colour shading of atoms, bonds and polyhedra. - Support for hairlines when printing. - Online documentation (Mac OS 8.6 or higher). - Export of atom co-ordinates - - Density of the crystal structure is automatically calculated and displayed by using the unit cell view (Calculations assume 100% occupancy). - The distances to the nearest neighbours are now automatically displayed in the info window when an atom is selected by the end user. - Reduced prices - A hand full of bug fixes
