This means that so long as you compile the program from source code, you may use, modify, and redistribute the resulting executables without paying fees or infringing Copyrights. PyMOL is Copyrighted software freely available as “Open Source” source code. What are PyMOL's Strengths and Weaknesses? With respect to presentations, PyMOL works like an animated 3D molecular PowerPoint in that PyMOL Sessions (analogous to PowerPoint PPT files) can be constructed using a sequence of Scenes (analogous to PowerPoint Slides) which smoothly flow from one into another to communicate results or tell stories. PyMOL can also be used to generate geometric inputs for use with these general-purpose animation tools. With respect to movie generation, PyMOL can create and output 3D molecular movies in much the same way these others tools do for general 3D animations Maya, Blender, Cinema4D, and 3ds Max. PyMOL's primary advantage over these packages is the ability to use a graphical user interface instead of (or in addition to) command-line scripts. With respect to figure making, PyMOL is an alternative to Molscript, BobScript, PovScript, and Raster3D. However, it can also be used for a variety of both routine and specialty tasks, such as visualization of electrostatic surface potentials and molecular dynamics trajectories. ![]() PyMOL is primarily a figure, movie, and presentation generation tool. ![]()
