Best Reciprocal Space Tool

Postby johnewarren » 26 Aug 2011, 12:07

Yeap I am at it again, whilst my laptop ticks itself cool I thought just time for another post. This time I'm interested in knowing about the Best Reciprocal Space Tool. Again this is just you telling me about what tools you use or have heard of and or have seen on TV and then we (I) will convert those names into a poll which we can all anonymously vote on. Cool YES?

So erm I can think of:

  • Standalone - RLATT
  • APEXII - RLATT
  • CrystalClear - Reciprocal Lattice Viewer
  • CrysalisPro - Ewald sphere explorer

More are always welcome!

Missing:
  • STOE - Ewald Explorer

The tool is called "Ewald sphere explore" in CrysAlisPro.

By the way, where can I find a standalone version of RLATT? I guess it's not for free.

It pre-dates APEXII and was a java based program. By a long way not very sophisticated compared to the version that appeared in APEXII which I think is the best I've ever used. Not to bias any votes later. I guess a Bruker owner would be allowed a version? It dates back to SMART period of existence along with Gemini etc.
