Stereoscopic Modes

Molecules may be rendered in stereo, which can greatly enhance the appearance and visual content of the displayed systems. There are several stereo formats available:
  1. Quad-buffered stereo, (aka CrystalEyes in older versions), which requires a stereo-capable monitor, quad-buffered stereo video board or GPU, stereo emitters and stereo glasses equipped with liquid crystal or polarized lenses.
  2. Above/Below stereo;
  3. Side-by-side stereo for paper-printed images;
  4. HDTV Side-by-side stereo for stereo flat panel displays and TVs
  5. Anaglyph stereo (requires stereo-capable monitor, quad-buffered stereo video board, and red-blue horror-movie-style stereo glasses).
  6. Checkerboard, also known as line blanking stereo, works with compatible shutter glasses and DLP projectors.
  7. Column-interleaved, works with compatible shutter glasses and LCD panel displays.
  8. Row-interleaved, also known as line blanking stereo, works with compatible shutter glasses and LCD panel displays.
