CHEM2POV
--------
ALPHA RELEASE DOCS
------------------
What does CHEM2POV do?
----------------------
Designed as an add-on to the unrelated package CHEMICAL 4.2. CHEM2POV
will read a .DAT file produced by CHEMICAL and output the necessary info
to a POV .INC include file to allow POV to raytrace the molecule.
While CHEM2POV makes no attempt to reprooduce the colours that CHEMICAL
gives to each element in a molecule you will (should) find that each
element is given a unique "texture" eg CHEM1, CHEM2, CHEM3 etc.
How to use CHEM2POV
-------------------
To process the H2SO4.DAT file that comes with CHEMICAL, type
CHEM2POV H2SO4
Note
----
CHEM2POV takes some liberties with the lengths of bonds and the radius
of atoms. Basically, the lengths are divided by 10 while the radius is
multiplied by 10. This produces images that are compact and meaningful
but not necessarily scientifically accurate.
Support
-------
CHEM2POV has only been tried with a handful of CHEMICAL files.
If you find one that doesn't work as you would expect mail me,
and send the .DAT file on COMPUSERVE (user 10065,2355).
I don't promise to fix anything but I might.
New Releases
------------
Will appear on COMPUSERVE if anyone wants them.
