Graphics
We offer examples from each program to help you choose the program best suited to your needs. Specifically, we consider two types of figures typically appearing in crystallographic articles; (1) panoramic view (tertiary/quaternary structure) and (2) close up views (active sites, interfaces, etc.) and
