[Pw_forum] custum-definitions in Xcrysden: complete list of key words

[Matic Poberznik]

Dear Antoine,

Perhaps a better way to have the same viewing parameters for each
structure is by using the "Save Current State and Structure option", and
it doesn't mess with the defaults (you just replace the "STRUCTURE" part
of the saved file with an alternative xsf and open the script again, if
the supercells are the same in both cases the orientation and all other
parameters should be the same as well.

For your original question; a somewhat detailed overview (though
probably not complete) is available here:

http://www.xcrysden.org/doc/custom.html

Check under: Customizing various display parameters

For changing the background see the Xcrysden_defaults file description (
a little bit lower on the page)

I suppose you are looking for:

Custom_definitions:
set atmRad(11) 0.5
# line-width of crystal cell's frames
set myParam(FRAMELINEWIDTH)  0

Xcrysden_defaults:
*Viewer*activeBackground:           #ffffff

hope this helps,

Best Regards,
Matic
