One holistic way to view a reciprocal lattice (or subset thereof) without the requirement for 3-d or moving frames is with a pole figure.

See Palmer & Ladd for a better discussion.
I don't know what software can make a pole figure, though.

Are there any other options for doing this, perhaps within ccp4 and/or phenix? I once saw someone give a presentation and they had a little video that showed a three dimensional section of the reciprocal lattice rocking back and forth, which was really cool. I liked this because I felt like it gave a much more holistic representation as opposed to viewing a bunch of individual sections. I don't know if there is an easy way to do this, or if this person somehow managed to create this 3D depiction from a series of sections.
