| Description: QTree is a program for generating CPK, Ball and Stick and worms pictures of molecules using the quad-tree algorithm. This is a relatively fast method of generating near-photographic quality images though it does not generate shadows. A sense of depth is provided by darkening atoms farther away from the viewer. QTree provides many facilities including colouring by residue type, atom type, chain, temperature factor, or residue range, rotation, background colouring, modified lighting models and slabs through the structure. An interactive help facility is provided. Output from the program is in MTV ray-tracer format which may be viewed or converted into other formats using the ImageMagick package. QTree is freely available for use by not-for-profit organisations and for commercial organisations (providing they inform the author that they are using it). It may not be distributed without the author permission, but must be obtained from the site. It is supplied as a gzipped tar file of source code. |
