  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 colored spheres to represent the atoms. The user can interact through many functions to choose the view, the size of the atoms, their color, the background color, the type of fog, the bidings... Moreover V_Sim allows to export the view as images in GIF, PS and other formats. It furnishes with some tools as one to colorize atoms from data values or to animate on screen many position files.

  It needs 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 but it also compiles on Win32 systems. Documentation for the API can be generated if Gtk-Doc is installed.
