ORTEP2; crystal structure illustration plots. [IBM360,370,303x; FORTRAN IV (90%) and Assembly language (10%)]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6484135
ORTEP2 draws crystal structure illustrations using a CalComp plotter. Ball-and-stick type illustrations of publication quality are produced with either spheres or thermal-motion probability ellipsoids on the atomic sites. The program can produce stereoscopic pairs of illustrations which aid in the visualization of complex packing arrangements of atoms and thermal motion patterns. Interatomic distances, bond angles, and principal axes of thermal motion are calculated also as part of the structural study. ORTEP2 includes a hidden-line algorithm to eliminate those portions of atoms or bonds behind other atoms or bonds.IBM360,370,303x; FORTRAN IV (90%) and Assembly language (10%); OS/360; 284K bytes of memory and plotting devices.
