Detailed Description

Molecular Models

There are several model types to visualise molecular structures in VIEW:

• Line
• Stick / BallandStick
• Surfaces
• Backbone
• Cartoon
• VanDerWaals
• ...

Every model is implemeted in a class derived from ModelProcessor, which operates on Kernel objects (Atoms , Bonds , ...).

If you want to add a new model, you have to do four things:

• Create a new derived ModelProcessor class
• Add a new entry in the enum VIEW::ModelType (see VIEW/KERNEL/common.h)
• Insert the name for the new model in getModelName() (see VIEW/KERNEL/common.h)
• Modify BALL::VIEW::DisplayProperties::createRepresentation_()
  In general ModelProcessor 's are members in Representations .

The new model will be automaticaly added to the DisplayProperties dialog.

Coloring Methods

There are also several methods to colorize the molecular models and every method is implemented in a class derived from ColorProcessor . Every instance of Representation can have a pointer to an object of ColorProcessor , which it calls to get the color for the GeometricObjects .
