It is not enabled by default because I never got it working in a
robust way. It is enabled by a build flag, I could enable it in the
next release builds by default (and would like to revisit this as it
would be great to get working).

Thanks,

Marcus,

Thanks for the reply. What's the probably getting the zmatrix robust? Is it
the conversion to cartesian coordinates, or the interaction with the rest
of Avogadro? I might be able to help with the former, but probably not the
latter.

2014-04-07 Thread Marcus D. Hanwell
Rick,

It is the former (to/from Cartesian, corner cases), it was also in
progress as I moved between positions and I never got around to it. I
would welcome input on robust implementations, and can handle the
Avogadro side. I would gladly update the Avogadro 1.1 version, and am
eager to port this to Avogadro 2.

Thanks,

Marcus

Re: [Avogadro-Discuss] How do I access the Z-matrix tool?

2014-04-07 Thread Rick Muller
I have some python code that I'll start to stress test and maybe commit to
the PyQuante2 repository sometime real soon. There's probably nothing
valuable in the code right now, but maybe after the debugging process I'll
know enough to help out with the process.

Guess I should figure out how to build Avogadro...

Re: [Avogadro-Discuss] How do I access the Z-matrix tool?

2014-04-07 Thread Jens Thomas
Hi,

If you're working on code to create z-matricies, then there is code in the
CCP1GUI that might be of interest to you. You can find the CCP1GUI here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ccp1gui/

The main code to generate the zmatrix is the autoz routine here:

http://ccp1gui.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ccp1gui/ccp1gui/objects/zmatrix.py?view=markup

I know that Paul Sherwood (who wrote it) sent a lot of time sorting out
various corner cases and it's pretty robust for even quite large molecules.

Hopefully this will give you some useful pointers and potentially working
code if you're developing something similar yourself.

I'm sure that a zmatrix utility that could be used and shared by a variety
of codes would be a really welcome addition to the community.

Best wishes,

Jens
