WinGX Program Features
WinGX Program Features
- Utility programs to write initial model files, name.INS and PROJECT.CIF/INFO.
Utility programs to operate on these files and import/export other file
formats.
- Programs for data reduction of KappaCCD, Bruker SMART/APEX, Rigaku CCD data and a GUI
for SORTAV. Support for point detector Enraf Nonius CAD4 and Siemens P4
diffractometer files
- Graphical representation of the
reciprocal lattice and
reflection profiles.
- Numerous absorption corrections, including analytical, gaussian
quadrature, spherical-crystal, psi-scans, XABS2 and MULTISCAN
(Blessings method for multiple equivalents).
- Structure solution by DIRDIF-08, SUPERFLIP, SHELXS86, PATSEE and SIR-92, and
interfaces to SIR programs and SHELXS-2013.
- Structure refinement with SHELXL-2014 (externally available)
- Fourier maps, contouring, XHYDEX location of hydrogen atoms.
- Several graphics programs, including CAMERON,
ORTEP-3,
STRUPLO,
PLUTON. Interfaces to SCHAKAL and RasMOL, and the ray-tracing programs
POV-Ray and
Raster3D.
See examples of POV-Ray rendered pictures here.
- Programs for analysis of crystallographic results, including PLATON,
PARST, THMA11
- Publication of CIF based files and tables,validation of CIF files using IUCr CIF
checking algorithms & PLATON checking tools.
- User modifiable interfaces to other MS-DOS or MS-Windows programs.
- A now rather old set of introductory
TUTORIALS for WinGX
has been made available at the CCP14 site (thanks to the late Lachlan Cranswick). The DOOBRY test data
set for these tutorials is available here.
- WinGX may be used across networks. All WinGX programs accept either DOS or
UNIX style ASCII files.
