Distances, Angles and Torsion Angles

Diamond can calculate distances between two atoms, angles between three atoms, and torsion angles, each with standard uncertainties, presuming that standard uncertainties have been defined for cell or atomic parameters. Distances and angles can be calculated for selected atom types of the current structure and within an arbitrary distance range, and listed in a special table right beneath the structure picture (examples below, abbreviated; the lists have been directly copied via clipboard from the Diamond data table)

Distances, angles, and torsion angles can be measured interactively in the structure picture by clicking two, three, or four atoms, rsp., each. The results may be added to the internal lists of distances or angles and appear as geometric parameters in the data sheet and the CIF export as "geom_dist_XXX" etc. - with standard uncertainties and symmetry codes, of course.
