Abstract: We tried to develop the animation tool which is able to display the 3-dimensional (3D)crystal structures. In order to realize the 3D graphics, we used the OpenGL graphics library of free software. It can be worked on any hardware. Especially, we took account of the graphical user interface (GUI) in order to enable the change of a viewpoint and an angle mainly by mouse operation on real time. We can display the typical crystal structure with an arbitral angle speedy and easily. It can be showed the plural lattice structures, arbitral rotations of the xyz direction, a lattice frame, and a bond and the indices of the crystal plane etc easily with a mouse or a keyboard.
