Caveate

Due to problems/limitations in the Delphi development system, Gretep needs Windows to be running in (the normally default) Small Fonts Mode; other wise the window sizes and menus can go very strange. For more information on this, refer to the page on Strange Font Size Problems


GRETEP (Grenoble Thermal Ellipsoids Plot) is quite simple to use and is obtained from the LMGP program suite site at http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp/web-mirrors/lmgp-laugier-bochu/.

Gretep will allow you to open Gretep, Shelx, Powder Cell and Lazy Pulvarix files and will lead to the following screen. (Functions of the Icons have been labelled and putting your mouse pointer over the icon will give you a description of its functionality).

The structure can be rotated, translated, etc using click and drag on the mouse.

Gretep Main Screen with labelled Icon functions


Selecting the top right Return to Main Menu icon will give you the following screen where you can change atoms, spacegroup, cell; generation, fragment searching options; modify bond length limits.

Selecting the Plot Icon will then plot the structure with the modified changes.

Re-plotting the structure


It is possible to zoom in on parts of the structure using the Zoom Icon.

Zoomed structure

Or the Scale slide bar to zoom.

UnZoomed structure


The more powerful your computer, the faster Gretep will display and allow the smoother the rotation of larger structures using the mouse.

Large structure in Thermal Ellipsoid mode


If you find Thermal Ellipsoids distracting, you can convert all the atoms to display in isotropic mode using the isotropic switch.
