OpenMOIV Introduction
OpenMOIV is an object-oriented 3D
multi-platform
toolkit that
facilitates the rendering and interaction of chemical systems.
OpenMOIV is a derived product of Molecular
Inventor™, and it is partially compatible with applications
developed using Molecular Inventor™. Opposing to the original
library, OpenMOIV is multi-platform (you can use in any
platform that has a version of the Open Inventor toolkit)
and independent of the windowing system.
It includes a new set of functionalities to work with protein
structures and rendering them with a lot of new display styles.

explanation of OpenMOIV architecture.
OpenMOIV is
the result of molecular visualization research of the GTI
group of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)
in Barcelona (Spain). The research was done in the context
of the European Union supported project
Link3D.

Main features
OpenMOIV key
concepts are:
•
object-oriented and written in C++
•
based in Molecular Inventor™
•
compatible API with original SGI Molecular Inventor
•
multi-platform (IRIX, Linux,
WIN32 etc.)
•
windowing system independent (X11, Windows,
etc.)
•
optimized pipeline for powerful graphics performance
(octree culling, vertex arrays, etc.)
•
it provides mechanisms
for improving the image quality of molecular scenes
(Level
Of Detail customizable
techniques)
•
support for atoms, bonds, residues, isosurfaces, 3D
contours and labels
•
fully customizable display styles for molecular structures
(wireframe, ball and wire, ball and stick, CPK, CA wire,
CA stick, line ribbon, flat ribbon, solid ribbon, cartoons)
•
it provides high performance picking for atoms, bonds, residues
and labels
