ASY-ATOMS

This package is a tool in order to render molecular structures in using the Asymptote program.

Installation

Take the files in the dist director and copy them in your project directory or if you want to install it system-wide just copy the files into

Linux

/usr/share/asymptote/

Windows

Quick start

import atoms;
unitsize(1cm);
currentprojection = perspective(1,1,1);
settings.prc       = false;
settings.render    = 10; //quality
settings.outformat = "png"; //output 

real bond_radius = 3.0;
real radius_scale = 0.2;

Atom h_1 = Atom("H", (-1,0,0));
Atom h_2 = Atom("H", (1,0,0));

h_1.color = red;
h_2.color = blue;

h_1.draw(true);
h_2.draw(true);

Bond(h_1,h_2).draw(radius=bond_radius);

And now you could do

asy h2.asy or if you want interactive asy -batchView h2.asy

H2
