Hi everybody, In the last few months I've been playing with Siesta and I found that both Gdis (CVS version, the stable version lacks of many important options) and Vesta provide useful and complementary features (Gdis opens SIESTA fdf files, this is so handy!!).
I hope not to hijack this thread too much but I'd like to ask you one thing about these programs: I was never able to create a legend for a crystal structure. Xcrysden labels each atom with its symbol and produces an acceptable output while the above mentioned tools create somehow uglier images when labels are added (in my personal opinion). So the question is: how do you produce a legend with colored atom balls? Thanks in advances, cheers, Pietro On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 12:19 PM, Eric Germaneau <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey Marcos, > > I do, it's a great program. > > On 04/05/2011 01:46 PM, Marcos Veríssimo Alves wrote: > > Hi all, > This has nothing to do with Siesta, strictly speaking, but it could be of > general interest: supercell building. > I see many people here use and like GDIS.
