Description

The Displayable base class is the parent class for all items which need to be drawn to a DisplayDevice. For example, the set of axes which appear in the corner of the VMD display screen are maintained as a Displayable, and each Molecule is one as well. The Scene (section 6.3.7) object maintains a list of all the Displayable's that are to be drawn to the screen. Each Displayable consists of the following components:

The Displayable class is the fundamental building block for all items which want to draw something to the screen. Consequently, it is a rather complicated beast.
