- This program uses the sphere primitives to render molecular models.
-
- The following describes the functionality of each mouse button.
-
- Middle - Rotate the model objects about its center.
- Left - Scale the model objects.
- Left+Middle+Right - Translate the model objects in the z plane.
- Left+Middle - Zoom in or out.
-
- The following describes the functionality of each button in the control panel.
-
- Help - Click the help button to exit this window.
- Model - Scroll through the different available molecular models.
- Reset - Reset the model objects to their original size, and put
- the point of view back in its original position. If the
- objects are rotating, pressing the Reset button will stop
- them.
- Quit - Quit the program.
- Sphere Depth - Click the left mouse to decrease the tessellation depth
- level. Click the middle mouse to increase the tessellation
- depth level. The depth range is 1 through 30 inclusively.
- Sphere Prim - Scroll through the different display primitive options.
- The options are: mesh, polygon, line, and point.
- Sphere Type - Scroll through the different sphere tesselletion types.
- The options are: oct, icos, bary, cube, and bilin.
- Orient - Toggle orient mode on/off. When on, the sphere is
- displayed in a fixed orientation independent of world
- rotations.
- Hemi Sphere - Toggle hemi sphere mode on/off.
- Draw Quick - Toggle Quick drawing on/off. In quick-draw mode no
- antialiasing or accumulation processes are done.
- Display Bonds - Toggle the display of the bonds on/off.
- Display Atoms - Toggle the display of the atoms on/off.
- Accumulate Atoms - Toggle the accumulation of the atoms on/off. In this
- mode, successive whole-scene antialiasing is done. When
- the objects stop moving, the static image is accumulated
- in the accumulation buffer with slight perturbations. The
- way the perturbations of the atoms are done is controlled
- by roll mode and spin mode. The final image is
- antialiased.
- Smooth Bonds - Scroll through the different line smooth levels. The
- different levels are: off, on, and smoother.
- End Correct Bonds - Toggle the End Correct mode on/off. In end correct mode
- the end point of the bonds are antialiased. This is
- visible only if the atoms are not displayed.
- Accumulate Bonds - Toggle the accumulation of the bonds on/off. This is an
- alternative way for displaying smooth lines.
- Radius - Use the left mouse button to change the relative size of
- the atom radii while dragging the vertical bar.
- Multisample - This will toggle full scene multisampled antialiasing
- on a suitable RealityEngine configuration.
- Stereo - This will toggle in-the-window stereo on
- a suitable RealityEngine configuration with the proper
- monitor configuration (setmon 960x680_108s).
-
- The Following Keys have useful functionality:
-
- O/L - Will increase/decrease, respectively,
- the separation for each eye when in stereo.
