Smith) Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc Subject: molecular modeling programs? Message-ID: Date: 17 Sep 89 18:33:40 GMT Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 18 Has anyone ever seen any public domain program that let one construct models of molecules (and rotate them and print them and save/recall models) for the ibm pc? I know a few programs exist for the Mac for doing this, but I own a pc, dislike macintoshes, etc. Does anyone know if gnuplot can be made to draw 3-d stuff and maybe do some animation with it? Or is that something totally different? The reason I am interested in this is I'd like to look at some crystal structures (the 14 basic structures) in 3-d. Maybe construct some big models of lattices. No chemical interactions, lines and spheres. Thanks, Zach T. Smith (zs04+@andrew.cmu.edu)
