This is a stand-alone
application. It requires a Java Virtual
Machine (JVM), such as the free JDK1.2 by ©Sun
Microsystems
JCrystal is a
Java application and not an Java applet and does
not run within a webbrowser but needs a Java
interpreter (JDK1.2)
to be installed, which can be downloaded from http://www.javasoft.com .
JCrystal produces Vrml, Html,
Gif and PostScript
output. You should install the free software
GhostView with GhostScript to be able to view and
print the PostScript files. If you installed the JAVA3D
classes (separate from JDK1.2) you may
also view the generated VRML (Vitual Reality
Modeling Language) files without another VRML
viewer. VRML files can be viewed in a webbrowser
with a VRML plug-in, which you need to install
first or with a separate stand-alone VRML viewer (I recommend GLView).
JCrystal also allows you to output
webpages, that implement the included JCrystalApplet , so that you can post and view
the generated shapes on the Internet. Examples
you can see on my crystal gallery pages.
On top of this page that applet runs in a demo
mode as a logo, whereby interactive control is
switched off.
Unlike my other software JCrystal
is not free.
I ask for a fee of 60 US$, which
can be transferred by money order, whereafter I
send you the file by email. By purchasing JCrystal you obtain a twelve months right
for free upgrades.

Main Window. Here face
no.18 is selected and its central distance
modified using the slider.
This form
selector lets you input a form {hkl} for
generating the list of equivalent planes (hkl).
- requires
JDK1.2 (now called Java2
platform)
- SWING
user interface
- direct
printing support under Windows/Solaris
(raster image)
- output
of PostSript and GIF
- easy
to use interface
- generate
hkl lists from forms or input
manually
- real
time rotation (with mouse or
keyboard or animation)
- 5
display modes (shaded,
custom colors, wire frame,
anaglyph, vertices only)
- indices,
face numbers, vertex numbers
may be switched on/off
- select
faces and use slider to
modify the shape interactively
- editor
and sliders can
be switched on/off
- extra
JAVA3D window for viewing VRML (needs
JAVA3D to be installed)
- exports
VRML2.0 files
- exports
HTML files for
the JCrystalApplet
- comes
with JCrystalApplet
for adding shapes to your
homepage

Example on
the web:
- David Barthelmy at http://web.wt.net/~daba used JCrystal for
creating many mineral shapes.
- view my crystal
gallery (the
applet does not use input files but
calculates the shapes !!!) |
