Changes in V4.3
and V5.3
The number of changes is too great to list individually; however. the
most important are listed below:
- DRAWxtl can plot incommensurately modulated structures up to (3 + 3)
dimensions. In addition composite crystals can be plotted.
- The unit-cell axis labels and the vector triple can be repositioned
using the mouse (V5.3 only).
- The program can now draw a best fitting plane through a list of atoms.
- An RGB triple may be used to specify color as well as named colors.
- The polyhedral sections now calculate the volume of the polyhedron, and for
tetrahedra and octahedra, distortion parameters (quadratic elongation, angle variance)
are calculated.
- The program can generate stereo POV files for the unofficial version called
StereoPOV.
- Many problems in reading 'foreign' input files, particularly CIF, have been fixed.
- Fixed addition of lone pairs through the GUI of V5.3.
- Input of dn6 (O format) Fourier maps added.
- Reading of electron density and electron localisation function files from
EXCITING added.
- Reading of DISCUS and FullProf input files added.
- The slab cutout function now correctly handles non-rectangular slabs.
- There is now a general file viewer under the 'View' menu (V5.3 only).
- The loookat command now is honored by the GUI version (V5.3 only).
- JANA-style M80 Fo/Fc files can be used to generate a Fourier map.
