RIBBONS 2 0

The program RIBBONS 2.0 allows real-time viewing of solid shaded ribbon models of macromolecules. The primary features of the software are the ability to create a wide variety of styles of ribbon drawings interactively and to toggle between various coloring schemes chosen to reflect assorted geometrical and biochemical properties. Spheres, cylinders, dots, polygons and text are also supported. The auxilliary programs included make RIBBONS 2.0 a powerful tool for visual structural analysis as well as for presentation graphics. The program is currently available only for the Silicon Graphics 4D series of workstations. A port to the Evans & Sutherland ESV workstation employing PEX is under development.
