Abstract

Summary: VTX is a molecular visualization software capable to handle most molecular structures and dynamics trajectories file formats. It features a real-time high-performance molecular graphics engine, based on modern OpenGL, optimized for the visualization of massive molecular systems and molecular dynamics trajectories. VTX includes multiple interactive camera and user interaction features, notably free-fly navigation and a fully modular graphical user interface designed for increased usability. It allows the production of high-resolution images for presentations and posters with custom background. VTX design is focused on performance and usability for research, teaching and educative purposes.

Availability and implementation: VTX is open source and free for non commercial use. Builds for Windows and Ubuntu Linux are available at http://vtx.drugdesign.fr. The source code is available at https://github.com/VTX-Molecular-Visualization.

Supplementary information: A video displaying free-fly navigation in a whole-cell model is available.
