|
|
|
|
|
|
1. predefine some default view and enable comprehensive analysis work
|
|
|
flows for the user
|
|
|
- you can save and load views (screen shot 01).
|
|
|
- you can use different graphic representations - points, bonds, `VDW'
|
|
|
- atoms as spheres, etc. (screenshots 02 and 03).
|
|
|
I did not find volume rendering like in Visit but the spheres may by
|
|
|
opaque or transparent which gives a volumetric impression.
|
|
|
flows for the user (Fig 1).
|
|
|
- save and load views.
|
|
|
- use different graphic representations - points, bonds, `VDW'
|
|
|
- atoms as spheres
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. basic user interaction:
|
|
|
a) start, pause, continue time evolution
|
|
|
- you can load different molecules and switch between them (screenshots
|
|
|
04 and 05). I did not find any "player" functionality like in VisIt or
|
|
|
I just cannot use it correctly maybe.
|
|
|
- load different molecules and switch between them (screenshots
|
|
|
04 and 05).
|
|
|
- no default "player" functionality like in VisIt or ParaView
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) rotate, transfer, zoom in or out, change the number of shown unit
|
|
|
cells
|
|
|
- all works - you can even leave the model rotating by itself - exept
|
|
|
"change the number of shown unit cells" - this I did not find
|
|
|
- all works
|
|
|
|
|
|
c) determine species type and atom number by clicking the sphere
|
|
|
representing that atom
|
|
|
- you can do various types of analysis (screenshots 06, 07 and 08) but
|
|
|
from the menu and not by clicking on the atom. The window is not
|
|
|
- types of analysis (Figs 2,3,4) but from the menu and not by simply clicking on the atom. The window is not
|
|
|
interactive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
d) change the iso-value for the density, colour scale for the
|
|
|
volumetric data
|
|
|
- you can do changes in graphical representation like coloring method,
|
|
|
surface opacity, resolution, etc. (screenshots 09, 10 and 11).
|
|
|
3. select a plane and display a colour map or a contour plot of the
|
|
|
(interpolated) volumetric data
|
|
|
- you can do a clipping plane (screenshot 12) but I did not find any
|
|
|
contour plots.
|
|
|
- not yet identified
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. calculate the density integral within a 3D box selection
|
|
|
- did not find
|
|
|
- not yet identified
|
|
|
5. display distances, angles, and dihedral angles by selecting atoms
|
|
|
- I think it is not possible
|
|
|
- not yet identified
|
|
|
6. interactively replicate the unit cell
|
|
|
- did not find. |
|
|
- not yet identified
