The new preferences dialog lets users browse and customize their favourite settings, to be applied to new windows, and saved ready for the next program launch. 10 January 2005. CrystalMaker Software Ltd is pleased to announce the launch of SingleCrystal 1.0: an innovative program for simulating diffraction patterns from single crystals, visualizing the Reciprocal Lattice, and displaying stereographic projections of lattice planes. SingleCrystal works with CrystalMaker, reading from saved crystal files to visualize sections of the reciprocal lattice, and simulate electron diffraction patterns. You can open a crystal file in SingleCrystal, or use CrystalMaker's Transform > Diffraction Pattern > Single-Crystal command to obtain a single-crystal diffraction pattern for any displayed crystal structure. The first full version of SingleCrystal takes into account feedback received from many users, over the course of three public-beta versions released in the previous year. The full, commercial version also includes some significant new features, which will greatly strengthen its usability: export of high-resolution vector-based graphics, and the ability to customize, and save preferences. Both diffraction patterns and stereographic projections can now be copied to the clipboard, as high-resolution (vector-based) PDF graphics. The graphics can be pasted into programs such as Adobe Illustrator, for editing or annotations - and resized with no loss of detail. The graphics can also be saved to disc in a variety of file formats, by using the standard Preview application's export command. The new program also includes a tabbed preferences dialog, allowing users to browse and edit the default settings (which are saved to the user's preferences folder). Other new features include improvements to the Info Bar display, a completely updated and expanded PDF user's guide, and various bug fixes. with the Public Beta version. SingleCrystal requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later. Download demo version (full feature-version can be unlocked by entering your licence code) © 2008 CrystalMaker Software Limited.
