NAME¶
qutemol - interactive visualization of macromolecules
SYNOPSIS¶
qutemol
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
QuteMol program.
QuteMol is an open source (GPL), interactive, high quality molecular
visualization system. QuteMol exploits the current GPU capabilites through
OpenGL shaders to offers an array of innovative visual effects. QuteMol
visualization techniques are aimed at improving clarity and an easier
understanding of the 3D shape and structure of large molecules or complex
proteins.
Real Time Ambient Occlusion Depth Aware Silhouette Enhancement Ball and Sticks,
Space-Fill and Liquorice visualization modes High resolution antialiased
snapshots for creating publication quality renderings Automatic generation of
animated gifs of rotating molecules for web pages animations Real-time
rendering of large molecules and protein (>100k atoms) Standard PDB input.
