[sdpd] STX:RIET: Bugfix version of Chekcell powder indexing helper tool



There is also a new 3rd January 2001 version of Chekcell for Windows
graphical indexing helper tool for assigning cells and spacegroups
from powder data by Jean Laugier and Bernard Bochu - part of
the LMGP software suite.
(Chekcell interlinks with Robin Shirley's Crysfire powder indexing
suite)

Problems fixed:

Speed of generating HKLs has been improved. Previously this would show 
up as a problem when handling large Cubic cells.

Bug when manually inputting the HKL to peak matching tolerance has 
been fixed 

Example files given with Chekcell have been rehashed:  where data allows, 
there is an "empir" directory for "empirical peak fitting" and "fundpar" 
directory for "fundamental parameters" peak fitting (i.e., using XFIT 
in Fundamental Parameters mode (Coelho and Cheary)). 

"Fundamental parameters" tends to result in higher FOM (Figures of Merit) 
for trial cells.  

e.g.,:

                              Top FOM "Empirical"   Top FOM "Fund Param"
No visible peak overlap 
ambiguity (cubic)              214.4                         289.3

Peak overlap (monoclinic)       45.5                          74.8

----------

Some peak overlap (Cubic)       23.6                          40.8
rescaled peak data (r=0.3)    (top sol NOT "true cell")
                                            (top solution is "true cell")

Doing a recap on late last year:

A new Chekcell feature is that of a "Density Explorer / Z Explorer"
that can be very useful for organics / pharmaceuticals / organometallics 
(and other phase systems)

Just put in your molecular formula - a "density range" or "Z range"
and click "Calc" to generate a Density/Z table to the right of all
your trial cells (irrespective you have only 1 or 5000 trial cells)

Brief runthrough of the "Density / Z Explorer" within Chekcell at:

  http://ccp14.sims.nrc.ca/tutorial/lmgp/chekcell_density_explorer.html
  http://ccp14.semo.edu/tutorial/lmgp/chekcell_density_explorer.html

The Density explorer menu can also be called within the Truecell and
LePage interfaces after generating derivative cells (super cells - sub
cells)
