✦ Synopsis

Space-filling models demonstrating interactions among clusters of molecules can be constructed easily by a computer. When illustrated in stereo views, the effect is quite similar to viewing a physical model. The computer program described is capable of displaying hundreds of atoms in any prescribed orientation. Features are provided for changing the size of the model, labeling selected atoms, and drawing embedded "stick" figures to aid interpretation.
