It can be used to view and manipulate atomic and +molecular data given in xyz format. + +XMakemol is a mouse-based application and many features can be accessed by +clicking or dragging the mouse on the main window. Additional popup dialogs +offer a number of additional features. + +Here is what an XMakemol session might look like. The system is a bucky ball +and the Measure dialog is showing the measurement of bond-lengths, angles and +a torsion angle. + +XMakemol can produce output in PostScript (black and white or colour)and in xpm + format (which can be translated to gif format using xpmtoppm and ppmtogif). + +XMakemol can also produce a series of xpm files which can be translated into an + animated gif file using the bundled utility xmake_anim.pl (formerly +gmake_anim.pl).
