The Oak Ridge Thermal Ellipsoid Plot (ORTEP, version III) program (Burnett & Johnson, 1996[link]) is a computer program for drawing crystal-structure illustrations. Ball-and-stick type illustrations of a quality suitable for publication are generated with either spheres or thermal-motion probability ellipsoids, derived from anisotropic temperature-factor parameters, on the atomic sites. The program also produces stereoscopic pairs of illustrations that aid in the visualization of complex arrangements of atoms and their correlated thermal-motion patterns.

Location: http://www.ornl.gov/ortep/ortep.html . Operating systems: UNIX, LINUX, DOS, MacOS and Windows. Type: source code and binary. Language: Fortran77. Distribution: free.
