Future Plans

Following is a list of features we would like to add. They will be implemented as they are needed, but some will not be done until the next major version.

• Improve PDB reader to use more of the information present in the PDB file, especially secondary structure information.
• append and delete specific atoms
• provide improved user control of automatic bond determination
• text for raster outputs
• continue to improve rendering speed
• save more information about current setup (see section §  for the script commands to save the current setup)
• add bioinformatics functionality, sequence-based coloring, etc.
• add several new coloring methods
• faster calculation of hydrogen bonds
• implement ``correct'' transparency
• be able to select bonds
• improve the IMD features
• read in the electron density maps made by X-PLOR and display isosurfaces
• display electron orbitals
