CINCH - Crystallography IN C Headers

This is the name of the new library. You don't like it? You think of something better....

Current Status

Source Code

Source code is under CVS in /ccpdisk/xtal/ccp4/lib/newsrc

Wrappers for scripting languages, e.g. cmtzlib_python_wrap.c are generated using SWIG. This lives in /ccpstaff/ccp4/mdw/cmtz/swig If you are going to use this, you need to


setenv SWIG_LIB /ccpstaff/ccp4/mdw/cmtz/swig/swig_lib

Data

newsrc/data contains syminfo.lib which is the new symmetry data file. You'll need to

setenv SYMOP /ccpdisk/xtal/ccp4/lib/newsrc/data/syminfo.lib

prior to running anything. This file is generated in /ccpstaff/ccp4/mdw/csym/gensymlib - you'll have to ask if you want to know.

Documentation

Some documentation in newsrc/html

In addition:


doxygen Doxyfile

creates documentation from comments in .h files and puts it in www.ccp4.ac.uk/pub/martyn/doc_newsrc
