Crystal Structure GUI Editor
Build crystal structures using an intuitive graphical interface with number inputs and atom tables.
How to use:
- Select a preset structure or start from scratch
- Adjust unit cell parameters (a, b, c, α, β, γ) using number inputs
- Edit atom positions using fractional coordinates (0.0 to 1.0)
- Add/remove atoms using the table interface
- Click "Apply Structure" to visualize your crystal
