### Instructions for working with the GUI
### Instructions for working with the GUI (_assessment of UseCase1 is work in progress_)

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).

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
