Package: XMakemol: A program for visualizing atom
System name: xmakemol
Type: non-GNU

Description:
My project, XMakemol, is a program for visualizing atomic and molecular 
systems. Atoms, bonds and hydrogen bonds are the principal features that are 
displayed. Multiple sets of coordinates (frames) can be animated so that 
dynamical processes can be visually examined.

The system can be explored interactively (e.g., rotation and translation), and 
relative positions of atoms can be edited. Factors determining which atoms are 
(hydrogen) bonded are adjustable, as are the sizes and colours of the rendered 
atoms.

Information such as bond lengths, bond angles, and bond torsion angles can 
easily be extracted.

The rendered scene can be exported to various formats, such as PostScript, fig 
and XPM. Such output has been used in my own and other peoples\' publications 
in the peer-reviewed, scientific literature.

It already exists and you can download the latest distribution at 
http://vegemite.chem.nott.ac.uk/~xmakemol/dists/Source/xmakemol.tar.gz

Other Software Required:
XMakemol is an X11 application and requires a version of OSF/Motif. Development 
is done on a GNU/Linux system using XFree86 and LessTif.

If available, OpenGL features can be exploited, and Mesa (now integrated with 
XFree86) can be used.
