Detailed Description

The Representation of molecular structures consists of primitive geometric objects, e.g.:

• Boxes
• Discs
• Labels
• Lines
• Meshs of triangles
• Points
• Simple Boxes , parallel to the the coordinate axes
• Spheres
• Tubes
• Two colored lines
• Two colored tubes
• ...

Every such object is implemented in a class derived from GeometricObject . It contains all the information for the Renderer classes, to show it on the screen or export it to specialised formats (e.g. POVRay).
If you want to visualise a new geometric object, create a new GeometricObject class and adapt the Renderer (see documentation there).
