Hi, Thanks for the reply John. I use ubuntu 16.04 with a Intel® Xeon(R) CPU
E5-1620 0 @ 3.60GHz × 8 processor. I just got a new installation of VMD
1.9.2. I know that Tachyon produces better quality images than the snapshot
renderer. But here my problem is that the orientation of the image is
focussed to one corner of the display box when I use snapshot renderer. Any
suggestions would be helpful.

Regards,
Remya
