V_Sim
V_Sim visualizes atomic structures such as crystals, grain boundaries, molecules, and so on It can work with files either in binary format or in plain text format. The rendering is done in pseudo-3D with colored spheres to represent the atoms. The user can interact through many functions to choose the view, the size of the atoms, their color, the background color, the type of fog, and more. Moreover, V_Sim allows you to export the view as images in GIF, PS, and other formats.

Recent releases
- 03 Jun 2009 16:34
Changes: This is a bug correction release. It solves many warnings and segfaults during interactive actions as detailed in the changelog. Another main correction makes the automatic reload work again (it was broken in all previous 3.4 series releases).
- 06 Mar 2009 12:23
Changes: Some "assertion fails" errors when loading new files were corrected. The behavior of the "all elements" selection in the element tab was made to work for atomic parameters in spin rendering. The tab character problem in ASCII files was corrected.
- 16 Feb 2009 15:44
Changes: The main improvements are in the colored map tab, with a PDF/SVG export capability and the possibility to view several maps at once. The rendering has also been improved with smooth edges. Some other modifications are related to text file formats with an exportation to XYZ and the possibility to use reduced coordinates in ASCII files.
- 08 Dec 2008 19:14
Changes: This is a bug correction version. It corrects a buffer overflow in the ASCII file parser, and corrects some cases of rendering disappearance and some parsing issues with the configuration files.
- 01 Oct 2008 16:23
Changes: This release begins to add Python bindings. It is now possible to create a rendering window, add or remove atoms, and make them move. The masking plane capability has been ported. V_Sim now has an XML file in which one can store many bits of information like picked nodes, created surfaces, etc. Gaussian cube files and non-linear colored gradients are now supported.
