Class handling .cif formatted files

The @cif class enables easy access to the crystallographic data stored in .cif files.

Matlab class handling .cif data. It simply reads a .cif file into a Matlab class making accessible all fields stored in the .cif fil. Access to any field of the .cif file is possible simply using the Matlab .(dot) notation.
Example:
MyCifFile = cif('file.cif');
lattice_par = [MyCifFile.cell_length_a MyCifFile.cell_length_b MyCifFile.cell_length_c];
The above example extracts the lattice parameters from a .cif file.
