MicroWorld is a molecular display and analysis program. It calculates three dimensional models (Lines, Dreiding, Ball&Stick, Space Fill) from 3D atom coordinates, e.g. from x-ray data, 3D-databases, publications or other chemistry software. It features powerful functions which are, so far, quite rare with other programs of this kind.
• Fast antialiasing: smooth stick drawing.
• Depth cueing: model colors become darker with increasing distance to the observer.
• Transparent space fill models.
• Up to three different model types in one model.
• Import of any background picture and optional cast of a model shadow onto it.
• Colorizing of selected model parts.
• Alignment of the model to a point, a bond, or a plane.
• Display of a color legend for element colors.
• Mathematical coprocessor not necessarily needed.
• Hide function.
• Fast search functions: element, label, group (exact or substructure, interactive or non-interactive), protein and DNA/RNA backbone, find in radius.
MicroWorld requires system 6.07 or higher, a 68020 processor or higher and the presence of Color QuickDraw.
