Diamond is a molecular and crystal structure visualization software. It only draws nice pictures of molecular and crystal structures, but also offers an extensive set of functions that let you easily model any arbitrary portion of a crystal structure from a basic set of structural parameters (cell, space group, atomic positions).
v4.0 [Feb 18, 2010]
- New mode for much more intuitive exploration of a crystal or molecular structure and to preview neighbouring atoms and molecules.
- Improved evaluation of bonding spheres (connectivity).
- Determination of atom site environments basing upon Dirichlet domains (Voronoi polyhedra).
- Enhanced automatic structure picture creation.
- Several options to use the mouse wheel (enlargement factor, zoom in/out, change atom radii, blow up polyhedra, etc.).
- Definition and application of design schemes (style sheets).
- Improved building schemes (earlier called "Auto-Build").
- Acceleration of structure picture drawing. Anti-aliasing.
- Improved selection of objects from the structure picture (additive/subtractive selection; selection filter).
