The "last step" is to use a plotting program to yield a nice picture of atom positions, bonding, thermal vibration ellipsoids, and packing this is an ORTEP plot (Johnson s163 Oak Ridge Thermal Ellipsoid Program) see Fig. 11.73.

A widely used representation for crystallographic data is the ORTEP (Oak Ridge Thermal Ellipsoid Program) plot, as in the example of cyclobutane (Figure 2.4). The ellipsoids provide a measure of the averaged displacements of the atoms in the crystal. ...
