Rasmol
Rasmol is a 3D molecule viewer.  More information can be found here.

Shared Rasmol
SharedRasmol includes a wrapper that integrates it with the AccessGrid infrastructure to enable collaborative use.  When the controlling user loads files, rotates the model, or changes display properties, SharedRasmol instances being run by other participants encounter the same events.

It was developed at Argonne National Lab.  Direct questions to [email protected].

Installing SharedRasmol
  • Download the following file:  SharedRasmol.zip
  • Unzip it to a temporary directory
  • Install the package
    • Linux: python2 agpm.py -f SharedRasmol.app
    • Windows: agpm.py -f SharedRasmol.app
Note:  Do not use the '-z' option to install from the zipfile; this will fail, because the zipfile includes binary files not properly handled by agpm.py.
  • The SharedRasmol app can be used the next time the VenueClient is started.
