Subject:  Re: CCL:Summary: Creating a movie of a moving molecule

Sorry to also walk in on this a bit late, but a graphics modeling program I
particularly like is Spock by Jon Christopher
( http://quorum.tamu.edu/jon/spock
). It works on a number of platforms,
including Linux (my flavor :), and has very nice facilities to carry out a
variety of tasks, including the creation of movies.

Jon has been incredibly helpful over the past years whenever I had
questions, and I have been very impressed with the capabilities of his program.

         was used to piece the images together and create an avi.
