Output files can be read directly from (Version: 1.6.5)
Inputfiles for the following software can be viewed:
Inputfiles for some programs can be directly generated:
An internal file format is also provided for loading and saving of geometries.
If you think the program you use also deserves a little bit of attention from me and wxDragon, just email me
The actual picture can be exported as BMP, JPEG, PNG, PNM, PCX, and TIF images (may vary on some plattforms), the geometry can be printed as an EPS-file with true scalability (no bitmap!), isosurfaces can also be printed in postscipt, the coordinates can be converted into file formats understood by related programs. For exapmple, the molecule can be exported as an input file for povray, enabling the generation of high quality pictures, and this includes the isosurfaces or other polyeder. A nice feature may be also the ability to generate povray files for the all the geometries included within the molecule (as a MD simulation or a geometry optimization), which enables the generation of a MPEG-movie. All pictures of a simulation/geometry optimization as well as of a vibration can also be saved in various picture formats so that the generation of an animated GIF picture is quite easy.
Vibrations found can be animated, as well as Orbitals found can be viewed in a simple format (no fancy MO's yet, sorry).
Crystal structures can easily be generated via an input mask, as well as parts or multiples of the unit cell can be clipped (also for MD simulation boxes). Isosurfaces out of some calculations can be view and controlled through a simple dialog, all changes to the showing box are applied also on the surfaces.s
As of today, wxDragon is available on 6 plattforms:
wxDragon is shareware! So: download
it, test it, and then, please, pay for it if you think to use it
further on. The details about pricing and the rest you can find under the "About" menu item. Thank you. Still, this does not end our relationship, I
am open to your suggestions. Please send them to me.
An working Intel-based Linux running on your machine. Some shared libraries beside the standard ones you may need: openGL, glut
Windows98, Windows NT4.0, Windows2000 and Windows XP are reported to work. AVI movies can be generated. The glut32.dll must be install (can be downloaded from the web).
With the Windows (AVI) , Apple and some Unix versions (Quicktime) movies can be generated. The normal version which can be downloaded here generate only movies with two steps: the first and the last one. When one pay the shareware fee one will get access to the unrestricted versions.
Last, but not least: wxDragon is build ontop of the wxWidgets API toolkit, which provides a standard API, making ports of wxDragon to other OS/platforms straight forward. Thanks for the good work. I really would like to contribute my part to it, but it seems that my favourite OS, BeOS, is going down, and nobody is going to mention it. So sad. My new computer can't even run it any longer.
