💖 wxMacMolPlt 💖

okay bestie, welcome to wxMacMolPlt — it's a molecular visualization program, and yes, you're about to be the main character of chemistry. This page lives in the wxMacMolPlt User Manual section, and honestly? iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wxmacmolplt [options] [input file]

like, you give it some options, maybe you hand it an input file, and it does its thing. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

wxMacMolPlt is built to display the input and output of the GAMESS quantum chemistry package. no cap. it produces animations and/or publication quality output from a variety of input file formats. it's giving "I make your molecules look good for the group chat AND for the journal."

The complete documentation is usually installed at:

/usr/share/wxmacmolplt/MacMolPlt_Manual.html

and if you want even more lore, more info may be found at:

http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/~brett/MacMolPlt/

go read it. it's lowkey required reading. 📚✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

wxMacMolPlt accepts the following options, and there are exactly two, so you literally have no excuse:

  • -h, --help — displays help on the command line parameters. your little "wait what do I do" button. press it. 🫶
  • -v, --version — print version. just tells you which version you're running, bestie. ⭐

🎀 FILES 🎀

Insert list of important files.

yes that's really what it says. the manpage is leaving space for the files list. the files are mysterious. the files are the moment. 🙈

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so real talk — wxMacMolPlt is still undergoing development, and there are probably still several bugs. this is not a drill, it's a work in progress and that's on periodt.

If you find one, please e-mail the author with:

  • a description of the bug
  • instructions for reproducing it

do that and you're genuinely doing the community a service. slay. 🔥
