GraphicsView


Introduction

The GraphicsView plugin uses OpenGL graphics to show the molecules in 3-D. The user may have more than one window open, thus having simultaneously different views.

The main functions are the change of viewpoint and selection. Thus, the user can look the molecules from different angles and select atoms for some operation. The operations provided by the View are a change of rendering mode, i.e. to draw the molecule in different way, and Molecular transformation. The transformation moves and rotates selected chains by changing the actual coordinates. Thus, one molecule can be interactively moved relative to another, or a ligand can be moved relative to protein. This transformation and addition of bonds are the only real data changing operation currently available.

The stereo mode uses hardware stereo, if available, and is globally on or off for all windows.
