qtdraw 3.1.3

3D drawing tool for molecules and crystals based on Pyvista and PySide6.

QtDraw

3D drawing tool especially for molecules and crystals based on PyVista and PySide6. Drawings are associated with crystallographic symmetry operations provided by MultiPie.

• Authors: Hiroaki Kusunose

• Installation: QtDraw can be installed from PyPI using pip on Python >= 3.11: In order to use MathJax rendering for LaTeX, install playwright browser such as chromium.

  pip install qtdraw
  playwright install chromium  # for Linux use `playwright install-deps chromium` instead.
