VGEOM displays and manipulates ball-and-stick images of molecules. The program is menu driven and runs on IBM PCs or compatibles. Data is input in one of two ways - either directly from the keyboard or from a disk file. Either atomic Cartesian coordinates or a Z-matrix (atomic numbers, bond distances, bond angles and dihedral angles) can be used. Simple one-stroke commands cause the image to be translated, magnified or rotated around any one of the Cartesian axes or around a specified bond axis. Atoms can be labeled according to their order of entry or atomic number. Wedge bonds and space-filling atoms can be drawn to get a three-dimensional perspective of the molecule. The resulting images can be printed. Finally, the program can find the distances, angles and dihedral angles between any of the atoms.

NOTE:Your computer must have some type of graphics board.
