XtalDraw (Version January 23 2004) XtalDraw is interactive Windows-based software that draws crystal and molecular structures as ball and stick, polyhedral, and thermal ellipsoid representations. It comes with a large set of datafiles. Not only does it read the XtalDraw datafiles, but it can also read the American Mineralogist Crystal Structure DataBase datafiles.
