Hi all

Based on undergraduate feedback, I am really bad at explaining the Ewald
sphere.

So I made a thing to help. It's here:
   http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~cowtan/ewaldapplet/ewaldintro.html

It's been done before and done better by others, but this version fits the
hole in my course. If it works for you, feel free to use it.

I assume that the following prerequisites have already been taught:

   1. The Bragg equation, including the diffraction vector S
   2. That the diffraction vector is perpendicular to the Bragg planes and
   its length is reciprocal to the plane spacing.
   3. That Miller indices can be used to describe all the possible sets of
   Bragg planes.
   4. That the diffraction vectors corresponding to every possible set of
   Bragg planes form a reciprocal lattice with orthogonal directions and
   reciprocal lengths to the crystal lattice.

Regards,
