Thank you very much you were very helpful. I will let you know when I will be stuck! -- Pieremanuele Canepa Room 104 School of Physical Sciences, Ingram Building, University of Kent, Canterbury, Kent, CT2 7NH United Kingdom ----------------------------------------------------------- ________________________________________ From: Robert Hanson [hans...@stolaf.edu] Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 2:27 PM To: jmol-developers@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Jmol-developers] Extend Jmol to crystal files
That would be great. Please: 1) Check out the Jmol code using SVN/Eclipse. 2) Create your reader. Please add this to org.jmol.adapter.readers.xtal (unless it is XML, then use ....xml). Take a look at org.jmol.adapter.smarter.AtomSetCollectionReader.java to get a sense of what is going to happen in the reader. I can help if you get stuck. This mostly involves: (a) adding a bit of code to org.jmol.adapter.smarter.Resolver.java (b) copying one of the other readers as a template as CrystalReader.java (c) modifying the template as needed 3) Create a working patch and send it to us. This should be just two files -- Resolver.java and CrystalReader.java 4) I will check over your code, make sure it doesn't conflict with other readers, make sure it properly accounts for various options, and probably edit it a bit to be consistent with our styling. Then I will add it to Jmol 11.9.x Bob On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 5:19 AM, P.Canepa <pc...@kent.ac.uk<mailto:pc...@kent.ac.uk>> wrote: I am physic PhD student and I am willing to contribute to the development of Jmol. Reading trough Jmol web-page I realized that it is already capable to save file for other famous period code such as: CASTEP, WIEN2k, VASP, etc... I would like to extend it to CRYSTAL09, the periodic code developed at the University of Turin, Italy (http:\\www.crystal.unito.it<http://www.crystal.unito.it>). I have a bit of experience with java (especially java swing) and I use daily CRYSTAL . Can you give me some hint as to start developing class to deal with crystal files?
