#2 input-portlet: atomic positions free-form entry
When Pierre was looking at the pwscf input form, one place where he saw room for improvement was entering the atomic positions into the structured form:
| Symbol |
|---|
| Cl |
| --------------------------------- |
| Cl |
| --------------------------------- |
| Cl |
| --------------------------------- |
| Cl |
| --------------------------------- |
| Na |
| --------------------------------- |
| Na |
| --------------------------------- |
| Na |
| --------------------------------- |
| Na |
| --------------------------------- |
Determining the atomic positions is a careful process including measuring and visualizations that would, I think, often be done outside the input form. It would be much nicer to just copy-and-paste the input from the other source into input-portlet's form, instead of writing down the locations into separate input text-boxes.
This feature request is for a free-form input (textarea) like this:
|------------------------------|
| Cl 0.0 0.0 0.0 |
| Cl 0.5 0.5 0.0 |
| Cl 0.5 0.0 0.5 |
| Cl 0.0 0.5 0.5 |
| Na 0.5 0.0 0.0 |
| Na 1.0 0.5 0.0 |
| Na 1.0 0.0 0.5 |
| Na 0.5 0.5 0.5 |
|------------------------------|
to be parsed and processed by input-portlet
