-%description
-This is a scientific visualization package for examining output files
-generated by the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package, a package for
-performing ab-initio quantum-mechanical molecular dynamics using
-pseudopotentials and a plane wave basis set. The project was initiated
-when a chemical engineering professor requested assitance in visualizing
-output files produced by the above package. It displays iso-surfaces and
-slices of a three-dimensional data set, along with the atoms that make
-up the molecule the calculations were performed for, and allows symbolic
-bonds to be inserted between them.
