&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;This page collects software that we find useful to display data from running molecular simulations. A special section is dedicated to [[#Rendering|Render]] software that create photorealistic or artistic images from scenes exported from other visualization software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Molecules in 3D ==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[VMD]]; also has extensive analysis and model build capabilities&lt;br /&gt;
* [[pyMol]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[chimera]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[yasara]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[QuteMol]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[pyQuteMol]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 1D and 2D data ==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[xfarbe]], a simple 2D plotter&lt;br /&gt;
* [[xmgrace]], for 1D plots and some graph analysis&lt;br /&gt;
* gnuplot&lt;br /&gt;
* [[matplotlib]], a python based scientific plotting library&lt;br /&gt;
* [[R]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 3D data ==&lt;br /&gt;
To display 3D data such as densities, you can use a typically insanely powerful 3D visualization package; see for instance this list of [http://prism.dkrz.de/Workpackages/WP4a/Low-End/Packages/WP4a_Low-End_graphic_packages.html graphics packages].&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://www.opendx.org/ OpenDX]: list of [http://www.opendx.org/support.html documentation] and [http://opendx.sdsc.edu/docs/html/pages/usrgu068.htm#HDREDF native DX file format]&lt;br /&gt;
* viewers based on [http://www.vtk.org/ VTK] such as [http://mayavi.sourceforge.net/ MayaVi]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[VMD]] and [[Chimera]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Rendering ==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Raster3D]] (the renderer can be called from [[VMD]]) and VMD&amp;#039;s [[VMD#Tachyon|Tachyon]].&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Gelato]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Pixie]], a Renderman-compatible shader&lt;br /&gt;
