Overview

About

Maintained by Wei SuFirst published 2020-10-263 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Create rich and fully interactive 3D visualizations of molecular data. Visualizations can be included in Shiny apps and R markdown documents, or viewed from the R console and 'RStudio' Viewer. 'r3dmol' includes an extensive API to manipulate the visualization after creation, and supports getting data out of the visualization into R. Based on the '3dmol.js' and the 'htmlwidgets' R package.
