WullfMaker Source

Introduction

This is open source code to dynamically create and visualize Wulff Shapes for any point group symmetry.
The CDF versions can be used interactively and have the same functionality, but it requires the free CDF player: CDF Player
The Notebook versions require a Mathematica license, but you will be able to explore the code with the notebook version.
Please, if you use this code or modify it, please let us know (ccarter_AT.SIGN_mit.edu)
This version (4.0) corrects some errors in the previous versions and has more functionality. It should also be much faster.

Interactive Version Running (generally slow because graphics are being served over the net)
Basic Wulffmaker: CDF Source (shift click to download) if you have the CDF plugin on your browser it will open in your browser.
Basic Wulffmaker: Mathematica Notebook (shift click to download)

The Winterbottom tools have not been upgraded to version 4 (yet).
Classic Winterbottom (One Wulff attached to an interface) CDF Source (shift click to download) if you have the CDF plugin on your browser it will open in your browser.

Software Compatibility

This code is distributed as a Wolfram CDF file, for which there is a free visualizer. It is also distributed as a Mathematica notebook; if you have a Mathematica License, then you can modify the notebook for your own purposes---but, please let us know if you have done this.
