CRYSPLOT
CRYSPLOT visualizes computed properties of periodic systems by parsing CRYSTAL code outputs and producing publication-quality plots for analysis of crystalline materials.
Key Features:
- CRYSTAL output support: Parses and interprets computed properties generated by the CRYSTAL code.
- Periodic properties visualization: Produces graphical representations of properties specific to periodic systems and crystalline solids.
- Plotting with Plotly.js: Uses the Plotly.js JavaScript library to generate high-quality, customizable scientific graphics.
- JavaScript-based data handling: Implements JavaScript routines to parse input files, extract relevant data, and organize it into structured objects.
- Modular input-format support: Employs a modular design that facilitates incorporation of additional input data formats.
- Publication-quality customization: Provides options to tailor plot appearance and layout for scientific publication standards.
Scientific Applications:
- Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs): Visualizes computed properties of MOFs derived from CRYSTAL calculations to support structural and property analysis.
- Crystalline materials analysis: Represents computed periodic-system properties to aid interpretation of electronic, structural, or other computed material descriptors.
Methodology:
Implemented in JavaScript; parses CRYSTAL input/output files, extracts relevant computed-property data, organizes data into structured objects, and passes these objects to Plotly.js for plotting; modular architecture supports additional input formats.
