[Surface Menu]

This menu appears when volumetric data such as electron density or molecular orbitals are displayed. The surface values are determined either from the molecular orbital file created by 3DPLTORB, or in the surface specification file discussed in the file section. A particular surface value, chosen from the surface menu, brings up a surface display panel:


[Surface Panel]


The surface display options are:
  • NO SURFACE Do not display this surface
  • WIREFRAME Display the surface as a wireframe object
  • SOLID Display an opaque, solid surface
  • TRANSPARENT Display an transparent, solid surface.

    • Clicking on the COLOR button brings up the same color panel described in the atom section.

    The MO menu displays a list of the MO's to be displayed as determined by the 3DPLTORB program. Choosing an MO points the surface menu at data for that particular MO.
