You can do that to some extent by scattering random atoms about and
calculating phases from them..
Then the centrics will be sensible.
That is how some direct methods programs get their "random starting set"
of phases..
Depends on how flat you want the starting map to be

Hi y'all.
Excuse that rather "noddy" question, but I've been googling this for
hours now and I've finally lost patience...
How can I generate a random phase set for either a .mtz or .hkl (cns
format) reflection file (if possbile with sensible values for centric
reflections).
That's it.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
