The library features updated and improved rendering, where we built upon the abstraction provided by previous API, but implemented a simple scene graph.

We provide a set of permissively licensed, open source, cross platform software components in the Avogadro 2 libraries, along with an end-user application with full source code, and binaries. The motivation for rewriting Avogadro, along with improvements and changes made in Avogadro 2 are summarized in our Source article. The development of the first generation Avogadro application and library is documented in our paper, and this remains the preferred method of citation at present. Avogadro is now a robust, flexible solution that can tie in to and harness the power of VTK for additional analysis and visualization capabilities.Īvogadro 2 is a chemical editor and visualization application, it is also a set of reusable software libraries written in C++ using principles of modularity for maximum reuse. The project began as a grass roots effort to address deficiencies observed by many of the early contributors in existing commercial and open source solutions. The Avogadro project is in the final stages of an ambitious rewrite of its core data structures, algorithms and visualization capabilities. In order to tackle molecular simulation and visualization challenges in key areas of materials science, chemistry and biology it is necessary to move beyond fixed software applications.
