    • calcInvertedAxes

      public static javax.vecmath.Vector3d[] calcInvertedAxes(javax.vecmath.Vector3d aAxis, javax.vecmath.Vector3d bAxis, javax.vecmath.Vector3d cAxis)
      Inverts three cell axes.
      Returns:
      a 3x3 matrix with the three Cartesian vectors representing the unit cell axes. The a axis is the first row.

    • notionalToCartesian

      public static javax.vecmath.Vector3d[] notionalToCartesian(double alength, double blength, double clength, double alpha, double beta, double gamma)
      Calculates Cartesian vectors for unit cell axes from axes lengths and angles between axes.

      To calculate Cartesian coordinates, it places the a axis on the x axes, the b axis in the xy plane, making an angle gamma with the a axis, and places the c axis to fulfill the remaining constraints. (See also the CCL archive.)

      Parameters:
      alength - length of the a axis
      blength - length of the b axis
      clength - length of the c axis
      alpha - angle between b and c axes in degrees
      beta - angle between a and c axes in degrees
      gamma - angle between a and b axes in degrees
      Returns:
      an array of Vector3d objects with the three Cartesian vectors representing the unit cell axes.

    • fractionalToCartesian

      public static void fractionalToCartesian(ICrystal crystal)
      Creates Cartesian coordinates for all Atoms in the Crystal.
