The diffraction pattern of a model disordered structure has been thoroughly analysed. The structure is based on a crystal lattice and by varying certain set of parameters it is possible to obtain a smooth transition from a perfect crystal to an amorphous state. The lattice distortion as well as a range of the coherent scattering may also be easily controlled, so it is possible to observe an influence of the short-range order as well as its relation to the range of the coherent scattering, on the diffraction pattern.
