<!-- ==================== MODULE DESCRIPTION ==================== -->
<h1 class="epydoc">Module VMD</h1><p class="nomargin-top"></p>
<p>Definitions of simple 3D graphics objects and scenes containing them,
in a form that can be fed to the molecular visualization program VMD</p>
<p>Scenes can either be written as VMD script files, or visualized
directly by running VMD.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre class="literalblock">
&gt;&gt;&gt; from VMD import *
&gt;&gt;&gt; scene = Scene([])
&gt;&gt;&gt; scale = ColorScale(10.)
&gt;&gt;&gt; for x in range(11):
&gt;&gt;&gt; color = scale(x)
&gt;&gt;&gt; scene.addObject(Cube(Vector(x, 0., 0.), 0.2,
&gt;&gt;&gt; material=Material(diffuse_color = color)))
&gt;&gt;&gt; scene.view()
</pre>
