WinXMorph

Introduction: WinXMorph is a free-for-educational-use program for Windows 2000, XP (see requirements) with which realistic still or animated crystal shapes (morphologies) are created from crystallographic data (metric, (hkl) - Miller indices and central distances) as input and *.wrl (VRML V2.0 utf8) files as output, that can be inserted on web pages.
