title: viwish: a visualization server for protein modelling and docking.
abstract: A visualization tool viwish for proteins based on the Tcl command language has been developed. The system is completely menu driven and can display arbitrary many proteins in arbitrary many windows. It isinstantly t o use, even for non computer experts and provides possibilities to modify menus, configurations, and windows. It may be used as a stand-alone molecular graphics package or as a graphics server for external programs. Communications with these client applications is established even across different machines (through the send command to Tk, an extension of Tcl). In addition, a wide rage of chemical data like molecular surfaces and 3D gridded samplings of chemical features can be displayed. Therefore the systmen is especially useful for the development of algorithms that need visual distributed freely, including the source code.
