| Abstract: | A new algorithm for the generation of coloured, space-filling molecular models is described. It relies on the parallel processing facilities of a DeAnza IP8500 raster graphics system to increase the speed of display generation. Using suitable storage of the information about the type as well as the colour of each atom, it becomes possible to switch rapidly between various schemes of colouring. Results are shown with DNA and protein molecules. |
