3D Molecular Visualization on the Web: OpenAstexViewer 1

Posted by Rich Apodaca Thu, 19 Jun 2008 09:04:00 GMT

OpenAstexViewer is an LGPL-licensed 3D molecular visualization tool written in Java. With the obfuscated jarfile weighing in at 1 MB, OpenAstexViewer could make a good choice for use in Web applications.

There are now at least two open source, feature-rich 3D molecular visualization tools written in Java (the other being Jmol). Are there any others?

    Considering how fast Bob Hanson updates Jmol these days, I'll be curious to see what happens if/when the two projects share code. After all, both have the LGPL license.
