AvogadroLibs is the core C++ library behind Avogadro 2, an open-source molecular editor and visualization platform used in chemistry, materials science, and education. It provides the essential tools for constructing, analyzing, and visualizing molecular structures in 2D and 3D. Designed for extensibility, AvogadroLibs supports plugins for quantum chemistry computations, molecular mechanics, and surface rendering. It interfaces with multiple chemistry formats and data sources, making it a versatile backbone for scientific applications and custom visualization tools.

Features

  • Modular C++ library for molecular modeling and visualization
  • 3D rendering of molecular geometries with OpenGL
  • Support for quantum chemistry and molecular mechanics plugins
  • File format support for PDB, CML, XYZ, MOL, and more
  • Geometry optimization and structure editing tools
  • Surface and orbital visualization with scalar field support
  • Scripting capabilities via Python and other bindings
  • Cross-platform support for scientific tools and UIs
  • Integration with Avogadro 2 GUI and other chemistry toolkits
