Subject: Looking for a 'PlotAtoms' program for RS/6000
To: chemistry -x- at -x- ccl.net (Computational Chemistry List)
Status: R

We are going to have an 'Open House' here in the chemistry department
in November, and I would like to show some classical chemical dynamics
simulation on our RS/6000 work station. I have a program called
PlotAtoms which came with the Science Workbench suite of public domain
programs from the Cornell university. It shows a movie of the motion
of spheres. It receives as input a file (or standard input) of coordinates
and color of all the atoms to plot. Each movie frame is separated by a
new line. Unfortunately the frames are shown very 'jerky' on our RS/6000.
I believe that if there was a similar program using the GL library the
result would be much smoother. Is there any such program available for
the RS/6000?

Any GL program example source which shows how I can draw disks or spheres
would also be very much appreciated.
