Hi, The FOX program ('Free Objects for Xtallography') is a program for the Global Optimization of Crystal Structures from powder diffraction data (X-Ray, neutron). It is available freely in compiled or source form for Linux and windows (tested on 98,NT,2000,XP). A new version of FOX "Free Objects fo Xtallography" is available. It adds the handling of preferred orientation, plus numerous bugfixes, especially under windows. Fox is available from http://objcryst.sourceforge.net and the CCP14 mirrors: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp/web-mirrors/objcryst/ http://ccp14.semo.edu/ccp/web-mirrors/objcryst/ http://ccp14.sims.nrc.ca/ccp/web-mirrors/objcryst/ Note that you can compile Fox from the source code (on windows&Linux), which will enable you to have more frequent updates, and also help me (hint,hint) Thanks to all who helped or made suggestions for this release. Changelog: NEW FEATURES * FOX now supports Preferred Orientation, using the March-Dollase model. The texture parameters can be searched ab initio. * The 3D display of the crystal structure is now also refreshed automatically under WinNT and above (still much less responsive than under Linux -hint,hint). * The default size of crystal structure and powder pattern are more reasonable under windows. * New atoms in ZScatterer are now given a sensible default name, ScattPowName+number of the atom. * The wavelength is now directly displayed in the window, rather than exclusively through a menu. * Added ability to duplicate scatterers in Crystal. * Powder diffraction pattern keeps zoomed during optimization. BUG FIXES * The atom names in ZScatterer are now validated without the 'enter' key being hit. * Adding atoms in a z-matrix scatterer does not crash anymore. * removing a scatterer (or any object...) after running an optimisation, does not crash any more when optimization is relaunched (the parameter list is now correctly rebuilt). * Now correctly zooming when the dragged area goes beyond 2theta limits. -- Vincent Favre-Nicolin ESRF- Grenoble, France http://v.favrenicolin.free.fr ObjCryst & Fox : http://objcryst.sourceforge.net |
