TAL for crystallography is a fresh, modern application built for crystallographers and researchers working with molecular and crystal structures. Developed using cutting-edge .NET 8 and MonoGame technology, TAL delivers smooth, hardware-accelerated 3D graphics combined with precise core crystallographic algorithms.Key Features:Advanced Cavity Detector: Accurately calculates free spaces, voids, and channels in crystals, handling anisotropic displacement parameters (ADPs) across space-group transformations with high numerical precision.Easy Molecular Overlay: A streamlined, intuitive feature allowing you to instantly overlay molecules from different structures by simply selecting any 3 reference atoms.Hirshfeld Surface Analysis: A self-contained module for studying intermolecular interactions. Features automatic hydrogen normalization to standard neutron bond lengths ($C–H$, $N–H$, $O–H$, $F–H$), promolecule density calculations based on STO basis functions, and flexible property mapping ($d_i$, $d_e$, $d_\text{norm}$, charge, hydrophobicity).BFDH Morphology & Powder Diffraction: Includes a morphology generator with stereographic projection, rotation, and face indexing, alongside an advanced powder diffraction pattern generator.High-End 3D Graphics: Utilizes advanced rendering techniques (SSAA spatial supersampling and Progressive AA temporal accumulation) for crystal-clear atom spheres, bonds, and cell edges, with full support for POV-RAY export.Whether you are analyzing intermolecular contacts, exploring crystal voids, or preparing publication-grade visualizations, TAL offers a fast, robust, and modern environment for your crystallographic needs.
