This is a ActiveX/ATL component that shows molecular structures in 3D. It can read atomistic .pdb and .xyz file formats.
This control is made very simple and flexible.
It may be useful for chemists or other scientists to put molecular structures in presentations such as power point, with the ability to rotate or zoom using the mouse.
It can also be used in developing graphical user interface for molecular calculations, and in any programming IDE that allows insertion of ActiveX controls.
The models are rendered using OpenGL, therefore it exploits optimizations provided by the graphics cards.
NEW: Render as PNG with transparent background. Added small application that allows user to open molecular file and render it as a PNG file image PNG with transparent background. Can be quite useful in presentations and visual processing.
