A set of Python scripts for generating animations of phonon modes in molecular crystals.
The main advantage over various other animation programs (e.g. V_Sim) is that molecules can be expanded outside of the unit-cell boundary, which makes it much easier to classify molecular modes.
Animations are initially generated as XYZ-format files to be rendered in an external program before being combined into animated GIFs.
Using siftware such as VMD for rendering gives a high level of control over the "look" of the animations.
Examples to be added shortly!
