!Periodic is an application which shows (surprise,
surprise) a periodic table of the elements. Clicking on any
element displays a range of physical, electronic,
thermodynamic properties for that particular element.
I would welcome feedback from users on what data could
usefully be included in such an application, and also how it
could be extended to be more functional.
If users could actually supply me with data, that would
obviously save me a lot of time! I include in the archive a
dummy csv data file (names_dat) with all the elements listed
to enable data to be added.
For example the format is
#symbol,name
..
..
Ne,Neon
Na,Sodium
Mg,Magnesium
..
..
Indicate in the first line the data being submitted, e.g.
#symbol,name,property1,property2
and add the numerical values to data lines using commas as
separators, e.g.
..
Ne,Neon,23.5,1.4
Na,Sodium,67.48,2.2
Mg,Magnesium,45.09,7.8
..
Unavailable data can be left blank.
Then simply send a disc containing the file to me (or use
e-mail if you have access). I will copy the file and return
the disc. I can then add the data to !Periodic in a suitable
table, either adding to one of the present categories, or
creating a new one as appropriate.
I can be contacted as

or by e-mail as

(note my new e-mail address).
All contributions will be gratefully received, and
acknowledged in the program help file.
