Introduction |
PyMOL is a molecular graphics system with an embedded Python interpreter designed for real-time visualization and rapid generation of high-quality molecular graphics images and animations. It can also perform many other valuable tasks (such as editing PDB files) to assist you in your research.
The extensible core PyMOL module (hosted here at SourceForge) is available free to everyone via the "Python" license (a simple BSD-like permission statement), but we ask all users to purchase a license and maintenance agreement in order to cover our development and support costs.
In order to motivate such sponsorship, we offer support and other incentives to PyMOL licensees with current maintenance subscriptions. In this way, we seek to insure the viability of the Open-Source project by providing a specific incentive (or reward) for outside support. However, our hope is that only a small subset of PyMOL's total value will need to be restricted to Incentive packages -- just enough to justify regular contributions and keep the project self-sustaining.
The manual has more along with sample scripts. You can also browse a short PowerPoint Presentation from September 2000 which gives a technical introduction to project.
