# This module provides classes that represent graphics objects to be # output to VMD. This module is as compatible as possible with module # VRML. Important differences: # - No general polygon objects. # - Only the 'diffuse color' attribute of materials is used for rendering. # Warning: loading cubes into VMD is very slow, as each cube is represented # by 12 individual triangles. # # Written by: Konrad Hinsen # Last revision: 2006-6-9 # """ Definitions of simple 3D graphics objects and scenes containing them, in a form that can be fed to the molecular visualization program VMD Scenes can either be written as VMD script files, or visualized directly by running VMD. This module is almost compatible with the modules VRML and VRML2, which provide visualization by VRML browsers. There is no Polygon class, and the only material attribute supported is diffuse_color. Note also that loading a scene with many cubes into VMD is very slow, because each cube is represented by 12 individual triangles.
