Overview
The goal of this plugin was to provide a simple, ready to go system viewer for chemical structures in 3D. It also bundles the necessary java libraries (hence the 6.5Mb size) so that you should not need to do any configuration to get it up and running as quickly as possible. I haven't thoroughly tested this point on many platforms yet, so any feedback is welcome.
Features
- Uses the Jmol JavaScript library, an open-source Java viewer for chemical structures in 3D.
Issues and Requests
