SynopsisThis sixth volume of the Crystallographic Computing series explores the application of windowing techniques and object-oriented programming to crystallography. Featuring presentations given at the renowned Vespr m School on Crystallographic Computing, the book covers a wide range of subjects regarding the state of crystallographic software, such as recent advances in powder diffraction techniques, structure and solution, and refinement. The tricky problem of dealing with disorder in the interpretation of diffraction data is given clear coverage. In addition, introductory sections explaining new features in program systems are included, and, in an age of ever-increasing quantities of data, the rationale behind the standardization and portability of crystallographic data through the use of CIF files is cogently defined. The book will appeal to crystallography teachers, students, and researchers interested in the latest computer applications in their field., This sixth volume of the Crystallographic Computing series explores the application of windowing techniques and object-oriented programming to crystallography.

The book will appeal to crystallography teachers, students, and researchers interested in the latest computer applications in their field., A window on modern crystallography presents contributions given at the Vesprém School on Crystallographic Computing June 1992, Balatonfúred, Hungary. Nineteen review articles cover subjects of topical interest in the state of crystallographic software. The application to crystallography of windowing techniques and object-oriented programming is treated for the first time in this series. Recent advances in powder diffraction techniques, both structure and solution, and refinement are discussed. The tricky problem of dealing with disorder in the interpretation of diffraction data is given clear coverage. Further, introductory texts explaining new features in program systems are included, and in an age of ever-increasing quantities of data, the rationale behind the standardization and portability of crystallographcic data through the use of CIF files is explained., This volume presents review articles based on lectures at the School of Crystallographic Computing held at Balatonfüred, Hungary in June 1992. Subjects covered include windowing techniques, and the use of CIF files.
