Description
This manual page documents briefly the QuteMol program.
QuteMol is an open source (GPL), interactive, high quality molecular visualization system. QuteMol
exploits the current GPU capabilities through OpenGL shaders to offers an array of innovative visual
effects. QuteMol visualization techniques are aimed at improving clarity and an easier understanding of
the 3D shape and structure of large molecules or complex proteins.
Real Time Ambient Occlusion Depth Aware Silhouette Enhancement Ball and Sticks, Space-Fill and Liquorice
visualization modes High resolution antialiased snapshots for creating publication quality renderings
Automatic generation of animated gifs of rotating molecules for web pages animations Real-time rendering
of large molecules and protein (>100k atoms) Standard PDB input.
