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. 

Visual representations of the extent to which an atom is displaced in various directions are obtained from thermal ellipsoid plots of displacement parameters these are commonly drawn by use of the program ORTEP...

After successful structure solution and refinement, the final and very important phase completes the structural analysis. This is the detailed inspection of the structure looking for the intramolecular and intermolecular structural features of the system studied. Traditionally a plot of the molecule or a representative part of the structure (in a case continuous structures, like metallo-organic or organic frameworks, MOF or OF, respectively) with thermal ellipsoids viz. anisotropic displacement parameters) is presented. Such a plot drawn using program ORTEP [23] for compound 1 is presented in Fig. 9.12 (top). 

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. ...
