In order to investigate part of the structure, the user has the possibility to use the following tools:
 |
To delete | Delete atoms inside a polygon |
|
|
To hide | Hide atoms inside a polygon |
|
|
To display | Show only atoms inside a polygon |
|
|
Show all | Show all atoms of the model |
|
|
To change color | Change color to atoms inside a polygon |
The user can, by means of the following toolbar, define a rotation angle and rotate the model (using positive or negative angles) around X, Y or Z. It is possible also to define a vector around which the model can be rotated (by clicking on the "Def. Vector" button and by selecting two atoms).
The user can, by means of the following toolbar, define a shift as a percentage of the cell and translate the model (in the positive or negative direction) along X, Y or Z.
The structure can be moved forward or backward with respect to the screen or can be rescaled in order to fit the drawing area.
