Molecular Inventor
Molecular Inventor™ is an object-oriented 3D toolkit that
facilitates the rendering and interaction of chemical systems.
Molecular Inventor is a set of extensions of Open
Inventor to facilitate the rendering of molecular structures,
isosurfaces and 3D contours.
Molecular Inventor was initially developed by Silicon
Graphics for its high technology systems. Molecular Inventor
has been Open Source for years.
