Description
Summary:We have developed a software tool called “GWGPM” that generates wallpaper group patterns for molecular visualization. Assuming a 2D image file has already been created using other chemical or biological software, it can be fed into the software tool and generate all 17 wallpaper group patterns. The output can be exported as image files or files in other formats. While the software was developed for scientific purposes, it can also be used for entertainment since all operations in GWGPM are based on general 2D images.
