XMakemol is a program written for UN*X operating systems in ANSI C using the X,
|
|
Xt and Motif libraries. It can be used to view and manipulate atomic and
|
|
molecular data given in xyz format.
|
|
|
|
XMakemol is a mouse-based application and many features can be accessed by
|
|
clicking or dragging the mouse on the main window. Additional popup dialogs
|
|
offer a number of additional features.
|
|
|
|
Here is what an XMakemol session might look like. The system is a bucky ball
|
|
and the Measure dialog is showing the measurement of bond-lengths, angles and
|
|
a torsion angle.
|
|
|
|
XMakemol can produce output in PostScript (black and white or colour)and in xpm
|
|
format (which can be translated to gif format using xpmtoppm and ppmtogif).
|
|
|
|
XMakemol can also produce a series of xpm files which can be translated into an
|
|
animated gif file using the bundled utility xmake_anim.pl (formerly
|
|
gmake_anim.pl). The one above is an animation of the "viagra" molecule
|
|
(sidenafil).
