BALLView

BALLView is BALL’s standalone molecular modelling and visualization application. Furthermore, it is also a framework for developing molecular visualization functionality.

BALLView_01

BALLView offers standard visualization models for atoms, bonds, and surfaces as well as grid based visualization of e.g. electrostatic potentials. BALLView allows to load a number of molecules at the same time and all representations can be hidden or shown at will. A large part of the functionality of the library BALL can be applied directly to the loaded molecule in BALLView.

BALLView supports a number of modern visualization and input methods like, e.g., different stereo modes, space navigator, and VRPN-supported Input devices.

At CEBIT 2009, BALLView was prominently presented as the first complete integration of real-time ray tracing technology into a molecular viewer and modelling tool.

ballaxy Tools Released

August 7, 2014August 7, 2014

A new release of BALL and BALLView containing our new ballaxy tools is availably.

This new release offers, besides bugfixes, our new ballaxy workflow framework for structure based computational biology. The framework consists of command line tools, a ballaxy workflow server, based on the popular Galaxy workflow engine, offering those tools and a ballaxy plugin for BALLView which allows interaction with a ballaxy server instance. More information, e.g. a list of current tools, our live ballaxy server or instructions on how to set up your own ballaxy instance using docker can be found here. Enjoy!

BALL 1.4 Released

January 28, 2013January 28, 2013

A new stable release for BALL is now available.

This new release mainly focuses on compile and bug fixes. The most user visible changes are probably the rework of the Pubchem Downloader in BALLView, which now uses the new REST interface provided by Pubchem.
