Diamond now includes the ability to export the crystal structure as a
VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling Language)
file. This is a text file that can be read by a VRML 'viewer'. These viewers,
which are freely available on a large variety of computer systems, read the VRML
file and produce a realistic three-dimensional 'scene' showing the crystal
structure. This scene can then be 'explored': viewed from different angles and
distances and under different lighting conditions etc.
