Abstract
A computer program has been developed to enable a Cartesian description of any crystal. This program requires standard crystallographic data (system, number of forms, Miller indices, axial ratios and interaxial angles) to calculate the general equations of the faces present, a cyclic list of vertices on each face, and the volume and total surface area of the observed crystal. For verification or illustration purpose, a graphic treatment can be selected. This graphic treatment rotates, translates and scales the crystal projection according to specifications. For many purposes, crystals of low symmetry or complex crystallographic properties are more easily treated once expressed in a Cartesian manner.
