VIEWMOL(1) VIEWMOL(1) NAME
viewmol - a graphical front end for computational chemistry programs SYNOPSIS
viewmol DESCRIPTION
viewmol is a graphical front end for computational chemistry programs. It is able to graphically aid in the generation of molecular struc- tures for computations and to visualize their results. The program's capabilities include: o Building and editing of molecules o Visualization of the geometry of a molecule o Tracing of a geometry optimization or a MD trajectory o Animation of normal vibrations or to show them as arrows o Drawing of IR, Raman, and inelastic neutron scattering spectra o Drawing of an MO energy level or density of states diagram o Drawing of basis functions, molecular orbitals, and electron densities o Display of forces acting on each atom in a certain configuration o Display of Miller planes in crystals o Calculation of thermodynamic properties for molecules andreactions o Drawings generated by viewmol can be saved as TIFF, HPGL, or PostScript files o Animations of normal modes can be converted to a video file (MPEG), e. g. for inclusion into World Wide Web documents (requires addi- tional programs available on the Internet) o Interface to the freeware ray tracing program RAYSHADE (input file generation and use of RAYSHADE from within viewmol) o Input and output in a variety of formats, new formats can be added easily by the user viewmol includes a Python interpreter for automa- tion. At present viewmol includes input filters for DISCOVER, DMOL, GAMESS, GAUSSIAN 9X, GULP, MOPAC, and TURBOMOLE outputs as well as for PDB files (viewmol is therefore suited as a viewer for structural data on the World Wide Web). Structures can be saved as MSI car-files, MDL files, and TURBOMOLE coordinate files. viewmol's file format has been added to BABEL so that BABEL can serve as an input as well as an out- put filter for coordinates. viewmol supports a space ball as input device. The support programs for converting to and from the various coordinate file types may potentially be useful as stand alone utilities. They are split between /usr/share/viewmol (scripts) and /usr/lib/viewmol (C binaries), but individual documentation for them is not available. SEE ALSO

RTF2RTF(1) General Commands Manual RTF2RTF(1) NAME
rtf2rtf - programs to postprocess the raw RTF generated by the mapping files SYNOPSIS
rtf2rtf [options] .. DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the rtf2rtf commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page for rtf2rtf. rtf2rtf is a program to postprocess the raw RTF generated by the mapping files. It is used by other programs in sgml-tools (v1), and usually normal user does not need to use this program directly. Following is quoted from the README in the source tree. (Begin Quotes) I'm not proud of this code. It's a hack foisted upon a hack, nested within another hack or two. It sort of works well enough for my pur- poses (generating WinHelp .RTF files for my documents), but it could definitely use a redesign/rewrite. It started as a simple pertubation of the html2html filter, but got ugly very quickly... I shamelessly blame the RTF format for most of the hackery here -- RTF is not a _language_ like LaTeX or ROFF -- it's just a file format. So, we can't rely on RTF to do even simple things like "insert a paragraph break here only if the previous token was not also a paragraph break. Since the SGML front end has no conditional processing capabilities, multiple blank likes in the SGML get translated to multiple para breaks in the RTF. That's why we use a "lex" filter (rtf2rtf) to postprocess the raw RTF generated by the mapping files. Again: I offer this to the Linuxdoc community with the hopes that it will be useful to others and that someone else can help flesh out the missing pieces. What? Missing pieces? Yes, recall that I say it works "well enough for my purposes". The replacement files (general, map- ping) started out like as the latex replacement files. Much of them still _are_ the latex replacement files. I only converted those parts that are actually used by my documents. Your documents may require more of the files to be translated to RTF. Since I'm using these mappings for actual documentation, I plan on maintaining this backend, so please send me any improvements -- I'll coordinate with Greg to make sure they get into the the next official release.
