CPK
`CPK' is a combination of both `Bonds' and `VDW' in that it draws the atoms as spheres and
the bonds as cylinders. The resolution and radius can be modified
independently. The size of the sphere drawn in CPK mode is by default the
scaled-down VDW radius, but this scaling-factor can be changed by adjusting
the Sphere Scale parameter. Since a sphere is drawn for each atom, it
will always be slower than the `VDW' option, but we will work on performance
for future versions. If the values for a sphere or bond attribute are too
small, then those objects will not be drawn.
