We have been making good progress on support for unit cell rendering and representation.
Egon and I are starting to think about the multiple-cell construction of larger crystals. These would be created by translating the unit cell (with the atoms) to new positions. We have a terminology problem. We need a 'name' for this larger crystal. And a name that distinguishes it from the 'singleton unit cell' Egon says that sybyl uses the term 'unit cell box' to describe this this. He found several other references to other (less well known) programs that use the term 'supercell' Q: Are there other terms that are used? Personally, I like 'unitcell' and 'supercell' But I could also go with 'singleton unit cell' and 'multi unit cell' Q: What do people think?
