The ShowBox
commands creates a box of the specified width, height and depth. Colors can be set independently for all
6 sides. If a color is set to 'None', the corresponding box side will be open.
The 'left' and 'right' faces point to the negative and positive X-axis. If YASARA is using a right
handed coordinate system, these two faces will thus be flipped.
The created box rotates around the origin of its local coordinate system
, which is at the center of the box. Use the MoveMesh
command to shift the origin.
Example 1:
ShowBox Width=10,Height=15,Depth=30,LeftCol=Red
Create a red box 10x15x30 Angstrom large.
Example 2:
obj = ShowBox 5,7,9,LeftCol=Blue,BottomCol=Red,FrontCol=None,BackCol=Green
Create a box 5x7x9 A large, that is blue on the sides, red at the bottom and the top,
green at the back - and open at the front so that you can look inside. The number of the new object is assigned to variable
'obj'.
