As subject. I am looking for a software to substitute for
CrystalMaker, any suggestion?
http://viewmol.sourceforge.net/
http://www.umass.edu/microbio/rasmol/
http://easychem.sourceforge.net/
http://pymol.sourceforge.net/
http://www.uku.fi/~thassine/projects/ghemical/
http://gdis.seul.org/
http://www.chemicalgraphics.com/PovChem/
many of these work better with large molecules, such as proteins.
Avogadro is probably a better choice for what you describe. It imports
many different kinds of formats. I also use Ghemical but it does not have
the ability to visualize polyhedra and it has a sort of funky interface.
Both of these are in Debian.
As someone else mentioned, Jmol is a good choice too but there was only an
unoffical Debian package which is 3 years out of date and not on the
http://debian.wgdd.de/debian site any longer. I do have that package if
you are interested but I have not updated it at all.
Cheers,
Carlo
