Yadokari-XG is a program for single crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses, which was made in 2000 by Dr. Keiji Wakita, a graduate student in the University of Tokyo at that time. The Yadokari-XG was developed as a graphic user interface for viewing outputs of SHELXL97, which is known as a world-standard program for single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses. I (S. Akine) also contributed to the software development. Notable features of this software are as follows:

- Display disordered structures in an easily-understandable way by taking advantage of the SHELXL PART instructions.

- New algorithm for determination of space groups that can be applicable also to low-quality data.

Detailed statements can be found at the following program web sites (only in Japanese).

Yadokari-XG original version

In 2008, Ms. C. Kabuto launched a project for the software improvement with a support by Tohoku Univ. G-COE. Dr. Nemoto (Kyoto Univ.) and Dr. Kwon joined this project.

Yadokari-XG 2009 (supported by Tohoku Univ. G-COE)

After the project finished in 2013, the project members decided to continue the program support.
