1 Description

Molden is a software package for displaying molecular coordinates, molecular orbitals, electron densities from various quantum chemical software packages and supports contour and 3-D grid plots. Moreover, Molden supports many output formats including postscript, povray, OpenGL and hpgl.


2 Usage

Once the module Molden is loaded, the binaries molden (Command-Line) and gmolden (GUI) can be directly executed:

2.1 Command-Line

$ molden

2.2 Graphical User Interface (GUI)

$ gmolden &
