Graphics (META, POVRAY, RASMOL)


PLATON/PLUTON will generate by default an Encapsulated PostScript file of the image displayed on the Image Canvas by clicking on the leftmost box button (indicated with 'EPS').

The Encapsulated PostScript default may be changed into HPGL or TEK4014 with a code selection button on the PLATON opening window, or with one of the keyboard instructions set meta HPGL, set meta TEK4014.

In the PLUTON mode, there are two interfaces available to other molecular graphics programs.

The executables 'povray' and 'rasmol' are assumed to be globally accessible. Alternatively, a path may be given in environment variables.

e.g. 'setenv POVEXE '/usr/local/bin/povray'
     'setenv RASEXE '/usr/local/bin/rasmol'
