Dear Matteo,


you may try also the program Fox, which has the Space group Explorer tool

Dear Matteo,

I am not sure if that helps you, but I like to use Jana for this purpose. With 
the preliminary indexation, you start a Le Bail refinement in P1 and then use 
the built-in space group test to find a candidate. - This also accounts for 
different unit cell settings to a certain degree.

However, Jana also allows to change the space group directly and you can easily 
check different space groups. Once you set a different space group, its 
calculated reflections show after the next refinement. If you do not want a 
refinement, you could simply set the number of cycles to zero.

All the Best,
Joachim.

Matthew’s link works! Thanks! It seems it is the same version of chekcell I 
have. So nothing newer seems to exist. It’s a pity.
I use FullProf a lot, but I don’t think it has something graphical like I am 
looking for. Fox too is very nice, but same issue, tests the space groups but 
does not let you “play” with them and the related extinctions.

I Will keep looking at other softwares, like Jana, see what I find.

Thank you all

I also sent my email to Juan. Perhaps FullProf is a bit more than Matteo needs

There used to be more web based visual crystallography apps, but changing

- Does anyone know if a recent version exist, and where to find it?

- Does anyone know an alternative software to use ? Note that this is mostly 
for teaching purposes; I know many programs can browse through all space groups 
and help find the best candidates. But I think checkcell had the advantage of 
being graphical, i.e. one could have the students play around with the 
different space groups and see what extinctions would exist and whether they 
would match the experimental data.

Thanks in advance

Dear all
Thanks for the many replies and suggestions.

I had checked the links at ccp14, none of which works for me (which is why I 
specified I am in Germany :) )
UK - http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp/web-mirrors/lmgp-laugier-bochu/
Canada - http://ccp14.sims.nrc.ca/ccp/web-mirrors/lmgp-laugier-bochu/
Australia - 
ftp://ftp.minerals.csiro.au/pub/xtallography/ccp14/ccp/web-mirrors/lmgp-laugier-bochu/

Matthew’s link works! Thanks! It seems it is the same version of chekcell I 
have. So nothing newer seems to exist. It’s a pity.
I use FullProf a lot, but I don’t think it has something graphical like I am 
looking for. Fox too is very nice, but same issue, tests the space groups but 
does not let you “play” with them and the related extinctions.

I Will keep looking at other softwares, like Jana, see what I find.

Thank you all

Matteo

Thanks Alain.

I also sent my email to Juan. Perhaps FullProf is a bit more than Matteo needs 
for teaching. Your own interactive applications on
https://www.ill.eu/users/support-labs-infrastructure/software-scientific-tools
are more appropriate for that.

There used to be more web based visual crystallography apps, but changing 
technology and rivalry has been the death of many, such as those based on Java.

Bon courage in finding alternatives.

Hi Matteo and Alan,

I never used CheckCell but I think that Jaen Laugier is stil reachable at 
mailto:jean.laug...@free.fr>>.
CheckCell was probably developed with an 20 or 30 years old version of Delphi 
Pascal. If you can obtain the source code I have no idea if it would be easy to 
recompile it with a modern version of Delphi Pascal.

May be the FullProf application of Juan Rodriguez-Carvajal 
mailto:rodriguez-carva...@ill.fr>> offers a suitable 
equivalent.

All the best

Alain

colleagues,

I used in the past the checkcell program.

I have a version more than 10 years old, and cannot find online a more recent 
one (or any site to actually download any version of the program from Germany).

 - Does anyone know if a recent version exist, and where to find it?

- Does anyone know an alternative software to use ? Note that this is mostly 
for teaching purposes; I know many programs can browse through all space groups 
and help find the best candidates. But I think checkcell had the advantage of 
being graphical, i.e. one could have the students play around with the 
different space groups and see what extinctions would exist and whether they 
would match the experimental data.

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Matteo
