This generates a VRML world showing a crystal in the cubic system you selected. Several unit cells are shown, in one cell the spheres representing the atoms appear red.
Optionally, a direction specified by the Miller indices may be shown as a (yellow) cone.
Planes specified by the Miller indices may also be shown. Either a single plane, or a set of parallel planes may be seen.
In the VRML world generated, there are five default 'cameras' setting viewpoints. These show the crystal as seen looking towards the crystal along <001>, <010>, <100>, <110>, <111>, <hkl> (looking perpendicular to the chosen plane or along the chosen direction), as seen looking in the chosen plane, perpindicular to the chosen direction. In the VRWeb VRML viewer, these 'cameras' may be chosen from the viewpoints in the Navigate menu, or by pressing the number keys 1-5.
To view the resulting VRML world, you will need a VRML viewer. If you are on an Athena workstation using Netscape, this should work now. If you are not, you can find VRML browsers at the VRML repository at SDSC.
