GLmol - Molecular Viewer on WebGL/Javascript
== About GLmol ==
GLmol is a 3D molecular viewer based on WebGL and Javascript. You can
embed molecular models in Web pages without using Java or
plugins. GLmol is open-source software licensed under LGPL3 or MIT license.
== Features ==
Currently GLmol has following features. More is coming...
* Read PDB file
* Read SDF/MOL file
* Load local files (File API is used; Safari is not supported)
* Load PDB files directly from RCSB PDB server
* Rotate/Translate/Zoom model with mouse (touchpanel support is under development)
* Fog & Slab
