Unification of features in `plot_spins` and `view_crystal` #189

Closed kbarros closed 8 months ago

kbarros commented 10 months ago

Currently plot_spins and view_crystal play different roles. The former is useful for visualizing large spin systems, while the latter is useful for interactive symmetry analysis and support model specification. However, there is a potential value in unification (and SpinW does it this way). Marking as wontfix for now, because we have other higher-priority items, but eventually we should return to this.

The new plan is to keep two separate functions, which serve different purposes. However, it would be useful to grow the features in view_crystal so that it can show some information from a System, e.g., visualization of exchange interactions.
