MacMolPlt 7.1

MacMolPlt is a modern graphics program for plotting 3-D molecular structures and normal modes (vibrations). Modern means:

· Mouse driven interface for real-time rotation and translation.
· copy and paste functionality for interfacing to other programs such as word processors or other graphics programs (like ChemDraw).
· simple printing to color or black and white printers (publication quality).
· multiple files open at once.

Here are some key features of "MacMolPlt":

· It reads a variety of file formats including any GAMESS input, log or IRC file directly to create animations of IRC's, DRC's, and optimizations. You may also import a $VEC group from any file (such as a GAMESS .DAT file). In addition xMol XYZ files, MolDen format files and Chemical Markup Language (CML) files are supported. Also some PDB file support and MDL MolFile support is included.
· Molecular point group symmetry is supported.
· You may also paste GAMESS and Gaussian-92 style cartesian coordinates directly into the program.
· Animation of Normal Modes.
· Animation of IRC's, and DRC's including orbitals.
· Simple Energy Plots (including geometrical parameters).
· Simple frequency line graph of frequency versus infrared or Raman intensity.
· Append multiple GAMESS files together to create a single animation.
· Build or modify molecules using the graphical molecule builder.
· Quickly build realistic 3D structures.
· rotate selected atoms about bonds, change bond or dihedral angles.
· translate and rotate selected subgroups.
· Build molecules from scratch using cartesian or internal coordinates
· 2D orbital, total electron density contour map display
· 3D molecular orbital, total electron density display
· density difference maps
· Molecular Electrostatic Potential Maps
· Simple GAMESS input (.inp) builder
· 3D color display with lighting and shading using OpenGL under MacOS X.
