ReadCML

Description¶

This example uses vtkCMLMoleculeReader to read a Chemistry Markup Language file. CML has been developed by Peter Murray-Rust and Henry Rzepa since 1995. It is the de facto XML for chemistry, accepted by publishers and with more than 1 million lines of Open Source code supporting it.

Info

This example uses the file porphyrin.cml. A description of the molecule Porphyrin is described here.
