The drawings shown below have been generated by SCHAKAL 99 as (868 x 626) or as (1736 x 1252) 256 colour TIFF files. Using Micrografx' program Picture Publisher, the images were converted into RGB files, then reduced to a size of (521 x 377), and finally saved as GIF files. Most drawings were generated via clickable pre-defined procedures, some on pre-defined "Fourier" backgrounds. Some hints on how the drawings were generated are given as well (omitting steps like finding a suitable orientation, setting the light, etc.)
Note. Depending on the capabilities of your browser, drawings may look much worse than "in reality".

The FeOCl structure (stereo diagram) as black-and white
shaded drawing. Broken-off bond sticks make clear
that the structure doesn't end at the walls of the unit cell.
When loading the data set, the 'EXpand 3' card was used. The drawing was generated on the B/W screen device: Gen Devc * 1 Trs Expa 1 Gen View 1 { shade } | |

The quinine molecule as a line diagram. Several patterns
have been used for the different atom types. Label positions have been
determined automatically by the program.--- The drawing was generated
with the { resxn } procedure.

Atoms are labelled by their "height" in pm.
Label positions were determined automatically by the program.
