Structure¶
The Structure page holds the crystal models of your project: the viewer on the left, and on the right the groups that define the current structure.
| Sidebar group | Tab | Experiment types |

Structure viewer controls¶
Drag to rotate, use the wheel to zoom, and drag with the right mouse button to pan.
| Control | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Atoms | Show all symmetry copies, the asymmetric unit only, or no atoms |
| Labels | Show or hide atom names |
| Bonds | Show or hide bonds when the structure has them |
| Cell | Show or hide the unit-cell outline |
| Axes | Show or hide crystallographic directions |
| Camera | Switch parallel/perspective projection, look along a, b or c, or reset the view |
| Colour scheme | Choose the element colours used by the view and its legend |
These controls change the picture; they do not change the crystallographic model.
For a magnetic structure, the toolbar also shows or hides an arrow for each moment. Appearance sets their length and where they sit on the atom.
