CrystalMaker 4.1 features a number of new features which extend the program's multimedia capabilities to the world of the internet. Photo-realistic graphics can now be saved in the cross-platform JPEG format, making them immediately available for sharing on other operating systems or the web. JPEG is a high-quality, compressed graphics format. CrystalMaker JPEG files are saved at a high-quality setting, with virtually no visible deterioration in image quality - and require much smaller file sizes than uncompressed PICT graphics (typically saving around 60%). Crystal structures can easily be published online using CrystalMaker 4.1's new Export Web Page feature. A text file, in HTML format (the language of the web) is automatically generated and, at the same time, a high-quality JPEG image is created and linked to the HTML file. The two files can then be posted on a web server for easy access over the world-wide web. A new graphical calculate centre command makes it easy to identify possible cavity sites in complex structures. Bond details are displayed on screen, and printed in the output window. CrystalMaker 4.1 includes a more detailed List Bonds command, identifying neighbouring atoms and their coordinates, out to the specified maximum search distance. Other changes include provision for very-high resolution pixel graphics output, revised design for the Polygon Tool, plus a number of bug fixes, interface tweaks and subtle enhancements to the program code. We are making a free update available to existing CrystalMaker 4.0 customers, via our web site.
