XCrySDen is a
crystalline and
molecular structure visualisation program, which aims at
display of isosurfaces and contours, which can be superimposed on
crystalline structures and interactively rotated and manipulated.
It can run on most
UNIX
platforms, without any special hardware requirements.
XCrySDen has been
also ported to MAC OSX (requires X11) and Windows (requires
CYGWIN).
The name of the program stands for Crystalline Structures and Densities
and X because it runs
under the X-Window environment.
