  V_Sim visualizes atomic structures such as crystals, grain boundaries, molecules and so on (either in binary format, or in plain text format).

  The rendering is done in pseudo-3D with spheres (atoms) or arrows (spins). The user can interact through many functions to choose the view, set the bindings, draw cutting planes, compute surfaces from scalar fields, duplicate nodes, measure geometry... Moreover V_Sim allows to export the view as images in PNG, JPG, PDF (bitmap), SVG (scheme) and other formats. Some tools are also available to colorize atoms from data values or to animate on screen many position files.

  A comprehensive manual is available on the web site, see http://inac.cea.fr/L_Sim/V_Sim/user_guide.html.

  It requires GTK2 (lib and dev files) and OpenGl (lib and dev files), no other dependencies are required. It is programmed in C and is aimed to run on *nix systems and on Win32 systems. Documentation for the API can be generated if Gtk-Doc is installed.
