This GUI was created in MATLAB and serves as an educational tool for both novice and experienced crystallographer, and as a quick tool to make crystallographic computations. This GUI allows the creation of stereographic projection as well as the individual computation of angles between planes and directions for all seven crystal systems. Those who work in preferred orientation of polycrystalline materials or single crystals might find this GUI useful.

Standalone Versions available for both WINDOWS and MAC. No MATLAB required.

Features

  • Computes angle between angles and directions
  • Computes interplanar spacing (d-space) for each specified plane
  • Computes the direction that is normal to a plane
  • Computes plane that is normal to a specified direction
  • Calculates unit cell volume
  • Plots the stereographic projection of both poles and directions on a Wulff Net
  • Load an HKL list of planes and directions to plot using an excel file (.xlsx): Example provided in installation folder or under Browse All Files on this Sourceforge page
  • Allows a view to be set on stereographic projections based on either a direction or pole
  • Allows for rotation of the Wulff net
  • Allows for rotation of stereographic projections
  • Plots stereographic projections on a 3D Cartesian sphere in order to better visualize diffraction of certain crystallographic planes and/or scattering vectors

Paessler - Monitor Your Whole Network in Minutes

Auto-discovery finds your devices and deploys pre-configured sensors instantly. No project plan required, just visibility from day one.

Waiting weeks for a monitoring rollout isn't an option when infrastructure doesn't stop running. PRTG's auto-discovery scans your network and suggests from over 200 pre-configured sensor types, so you're watching servers, applications and devices within minutes, not after a multi-week deployment. Enterprise-strength monitoring, without the enterprise complexity. Start your free trial today.
