Subject: Summary - 3D programs
To: chemistry@ccl.net

X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL2]



In the last week i asked for a public domain program which can handle 3D-plots
==============================================================================

As a result of my request i've got a lot of messages.
Most people has recommended "gnuplot".

Here are some messages:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"
++++++++++++++++++++++ 3D Plotting Packages ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Gnuplot 3.5
	It is one of the best 2- and 3-D plotting packages, with online help.
	It's a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
	for UNIX, MSDOS, Amiga, Archimedes, and VMS platforms (at least!).
	You can practically find it everywhere (use Archie to find a site 
	near you!).

Robot
	Release 0.48 : 2-D and limited 3-D. Based on XView 3, written
	in C / Fortran (so you need a Fortran compiler or the f2c translator).
	Mainly tested on Sun4, less on DECstations. Check at
	ftp.astro.psu.edu (128.118.147.28),  pub/astrod.

PlotMTV
	tanqueray.berkeley.edu : /pub/Plotmtv1.3.1.tar.Z (~1 MB) - with source
	The program can do 2D and 3D line/scatter plots, vector plots, as
	well as contour plots. Contours can be plotted from regular rectangular
	meshes, triangular meshes, as well as random data.
"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- contour
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" There is program called contour which can create 2d countour plots.
I think you can get it from :
Host ftp.denet.dk    (129.142.6.74)
Last updated 14:24 20 Jul 1994
 
    Location: /mirror2/X11/R5contrib
      FILE    -r--r--r--  144942 bytes  04:00 12 Jun 1992  contour.tar.Z "
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- SciAn and Khoros
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" If you need the fancy stuff, my best guess for public domain programs are 
Scian, but it used to  run only on SGI or IBM with 3d graphics and z-buffer, or 
Khoros, which runs under X-window, it is less sophisticated than Scian in terms 
of screen output quality, and it is a bit difficult to install. 
but there are mailing lists and users group on the net devoted to khoros.
SciAn used to be distributed via anonymous ftp from ftp.scri.fsu.edu
The best way to find the latest version of Khoros is to search on the network
using Archie, Veronica or mosaic. "
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Molgen (but MS-DOS !?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Try Molgen, on ccl.net, /pub/chemistry/software/MS-DOS/MOLGEN-demo. "
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- pdraw
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My opinion:
pdraw can handle X-Y-Z-plots as points or lines. The output goes to screen
(X-Window) or/and to a Postscript-Printer. A problem is the description of the
axis and the legends with others than the standard-font (greek, symbols etc.).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- another program : 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" We have developed a package for such a visualization.
It plots a quantity as a texture on a molecular surface or
provides a chickenwire (stack-contour) plot or a dot surface.
Please supply more details of what and how you like to visualize.

Subject:  Computer Software for Review

     As the Software Review Editor for the ACS Journal of
Chemical Information and Computer Science (JCICS) I often get
software for review in the journal.  Since I sent a note out
yesterday two additional packages have arrived.
I am looking for someone who is willing to review these
software/databases products.  In return for the review you get to
keep the software.  The review should be completed in 1-3 months. 
The length of the review is 4-10 double spaced typed pages. 
Sample reviews can be found in most of the recent issues of
JCICS.

     Please try to give me some (short) reason to choose you over
another person. DO NOT SAY YOU WILL REVIEW ANYTHING I HAVE
AVAILABLE. Messages with such replies are trashed!

     I have tried this approach for about the past three years
and it is working reasonably well. (REMINDER: For those who
haven't finished your reviews of software sent months and months
ago, this last sentence does not apply to you!)  As a result, I
am continuing this new method to find reviewers using this e-
mail/user group system.  I reserve the right to abandon this if
it is a problem, or inappropriate.  I will not notify people if I
have found a reviewer.  If you don't hear from me within a few
days I have chosen someone else to review the particular package.

     As I get many, many, (too many) replies to this message,
please do not respond after 27 July, 1994 (Wednesday), as I am
sure the software will be gone by then.

     I can be reached on Internet (SRHELLER@ASRR.ARSUSDA.GOV).

     PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE AN STREET ADDRESS, PHONE, and FAX
NUMBER!!!  (I send the software by Federal Express.)  Without
this information I WILL NOT consider your request.


     Steve Heller


The two additional packages I now have are from Megalon:


1. ChemStructure for Windows. It is a structure drawing program.


2. Compounds for Windows.  A database of about 27,000 organic
compounds with some two dozen types of numeric and spectral data
associated with each compound.

Hello,
  Does anyone know where to find the pK values for methylated derivatives of
lysin: mono-N-epsilon-methyllysin,
       di-N-epsilon-methyllysin,
       tri-N-epsilon-methyllysin?
Or how to calculate them?

Hi Gaussian world,

I still have problems with the gaussian geometry optimization procedures.
By using the GAUSSIAN92/DFT program with the input :

#N becke3lyp/6-31G** opt=calcall scfcyc=300

I sometimes after few gradient cycles obtained the following

This occures not only for this particular system but quite often in geometry
optimizations by using this program. How one can avoid this error termination?

***** Update on the PSI88 Package of Programs *****

____________________________________________________________________________

This post is regarding how to generate input files for PSI88 package
>from a Gaussian-related files.
I'm posting this message on the request of one of co-authors of PSI88.
So this is official almost :-).

1. What is 'PSI88' and where can I get it?

        The PSI88 is a MO plotting package, which is written by Prof.
    William Jorgensen and Dr. Severance at Yale University and available from
    www.ccl.net via anonymous ftp. This package is designed to plot 2D
    representation of molecular orbitals from given molcular coordinates and
    orbital coefficients. It supports semi-empirical, STO-3G, 3-21(++)G(**) 
    and 6-31(++)G** basis sets. It consists of three subprograms 'PSI1',
    'PSICON' and 'PSI2'. 'PSI1' is responsible for generation of 3D grid of
    wave function psi (hence it was named 'PSI'). PSICON reads in the 3D grid
    and generates contour lines (isovalued lines in x,y,z directions).
    Finally 'PSI2' reads in these contour lines, performs hidden-line removal
    and gives plots for HPGL, PostScript, etc.

2. What are the typical methods of getting molecular orbital coefficients?

        Any semi-empirical and ab initio package should output orbital
    coefficients. I'm focusing only to the Gaussian ab initio package.
    In calculations with Gaussian, orbital coefficients can be obtained 
    mainly in three ways.

 1) %chk=filename
        If '%chk=filename' is specified in the zmatrix, a checkpoint file
    is created in the calculation. It'll contain all necessay information 
    to generate input files for the PSI88. A utility called 'chk2psi' is
    provided in PSI88 distribution for this purpose.

  2) POP=FULL
	If the keyword 'POP=FULL' is used in the zmatrix, MO cofficients
    are printed in the Gaussian output file. Usually the last occurrenct
    of "Molecular Orbital Coefficients' are the coefficients of the final
    optimized geometry.

  3) FORMCHECK=ALL
	If the keyword 'FORMCHECK=ALL' is used in the zmatrix, a formcheck
    file is created in the calculation. It contains coordinates, orbital
    energies, orbital coefficients, etc. Since this file contains most
    reliable information on molecular orbitals, I recommend anyone to use
    formcheck files for creating PSI88 input files. An nawk script 'fchk2psi'
    (which I'm going to enclose here) can be used for this purpose.

3. What utilities are available for generating input files for the PSI88
   package from Gaussian-related files?

  1) chk2psi
	This is written to generate PSI88 input files from a Gaussian check-
    point file. However, cautions should be taken before its use, i.e.,
    it always extracts the Z-matrix orientation and may give wrong MO plots.
    Note that this comes with the PSI88 distribution.

  2) g2psi
    I wrote a utilty which extracts molecular coordinates and oribtal
    coefficients from a Gaussian output which has been executed with POP=FULL
    option. Interested users may want to contact me to get it mailed to you.

  3) fchk2psi
	This script is written in AWK programming language which is an inter-
    preted language and available in most UNIX systems as /usr/bin/nawk.
    It extracts molecular coordinates and MO coefficients from a formcheck
    file and creates input files for the PSI88 package.
    It will be found at the end of this posting.

    Users of the PSI88 should realize that the 'Standard' orientation of
    molecule must be used for plotting MO's IF IT EXISTS. Otherwise, the
    'Z-matrix orientation' can be used instead. A formcheck file contains
    always the right molecular orientation for MO's. So I recommend everyone
    to use formcheck files for creating PSI88 input files.
    The name of the script is recommended to be 'fchk2psi'.
    The Usage is simply "fchk2psi filename". If filename has a suffix ".log",
    e.g., "file.log", PSI input file names will be "file.psi1", "file.psi2"
    and "file.psicon". Otherwise, "psi1", etc will be simply appended to
    the filename. If input for fchk2psi comes from standard input (stdin),
    e.g., "zcat filename.Z | fchk2psi" or "fchk2psi < filename",
    files named "tmp.psi1", "tmp.psi2" and "tmp.psicon" will be created.
    
____________________________________________________________________________


Using your favorite editor, carve out the script between 'CUT HERE' pairs.
Name it 'fchk2psi' and make it executable by doing 'chmod +x fchk2psi'.
Finally place it in a directory which is included in your evironment
variable 'PATH'.

Dear CCLers,
Can anybody help me as to the functionality and preformance of Gaussian on a
Cray YMP/EL with 256 Mbytes RAM.  I am looking for some rough idea of the
turn around time for fairly simple jobs.
Best Wishes,
Hugh Capper
