CrystalMAP is a Java applet for visualization of crystal morphologies in a web browser. It is fully capable of visualizing twinned and epitaxial crystals. There is a similar applet, JCrystalApplet, which is developed by Dr. Steffen Weber and used widely such as in Mineralogy Database. However, JCrystalApplet can only visualize single crystals and that is why I created this applet.

You need to install Java Plug-in for this applet to work.
