CrystalDraw

CrystalDraw has been written to produce models of crystal structures and their associated axial and planar channelling directions in three-dimensions and to generate their corresponding two-dimensional projections. Visualisation of the models using specially written macros within Paraview illustrates how to orient and manipulate crystals for channelling measurements and guide interpretations of collected channelling data.

CrystalDraw Examples

CrystalDraw uses data extracted from crystal information files (.CIF) to generate
Visual Tool Kit (.vtk) files that can be visualised using Paraview.
