Crystalmaker stacking6/21/2023 Note that both "From" and "Through" vector styles have the same length from the atom centre to the tip of the vector cone this is the "length" specified in the vector panel. The tail of the vector is drawn slightly longer to make the overall vector appear centred on the atom. Atom vectors drawn in the "Through Atom" style now have a more balanced appearence. This is now automatically corrected when reading the files into the program.įixed a possible crash when reading from a LAMMPS file with long atom label strings. Some older files were saved with their view directions inverted. Updated View Direction when loading a CrystalMaker binary file. Instead, vectors are plotted as defined by the input data, even if this means that some (extra-short) vectors will be hidden inside their host atom. When reading atom vector data ("AVEC" card) from a CrystalMaker text file, CrystalMaker no longer enforces a minimum vector length of 1.5 Å. Updated User's Guide, including notes on file synchronization and Apple's recent withdrawal of support for QuickTime for Windows. This version includes updated documentation, more-flexible import of atom vector data, plus a bug fix for LAMMPS file import. Sorting has been made smarter in this version, taking account of numerical suffices so that numbered views are sorted in a more human-readable manner (e.g., "10" appears after "2" and not before). This used a straightforward string comparison (e.g., "alpha" comes before "zulu"). Earlier versions of CrystalMaker allowed sorting of views in ascending or descending order, using the view labels. This allows up to 1-million unique atom IDs (from 0 to 999,999). In this version, CrystalMaker detects possible label overflow and will either truncate the symbol (prefix) to one character, or omit it entirely. Unfortunately, CrystalMaker's 6-character label limit can mean that labels end up being truncated - especially if they have a two-character element symbol as the prefix. In order to track atoms within these massive datasets, the atom label is required. Some users are working with massive structures, output as "dump" files from the LAMMPS program.
