<P>
<H2><A NAME="ss4.1">4.1 OpenGL Mode</A>
</H2>
<P>
Since version 0.4.0 this view mode is the default view mode. The molcule model is displayed with
use of the OpenGL graphic library and fills the entire window. Spheres and sticks become a little bit
more realistic look (<B>Fig. 16</B>).

<H2><A NAME="ss4.2">4.2 Flat Mode</A>
</H2>
<P>
This is the classic kmovisto view mode used with previous releases. This simple mode is usefull
if the appearance is set to any labeled mode e. g. (<B>Fig. 17</B>).

<H2><A NAME="ss4.3">4.3 Anaglyph 3D Mode</A>
</H2>
<P>
This is what KMovisto makes a real 3D molecule viewer. Use this mode to view anaglyphic images
of molecule structures.
All you need are spectacles with red and green glasses (TV glasses are less useful since their
red is too dark and green to light). Make sure the RED lens covers the LEFT eye.
<P>
Now you have the ability to choose between two anaglyphic modes via tool bar buttons
(<B>Fig. 18</B>) as described as follows.

<B>Red/Green:</B>
This is the default anaglyphic mode. These images are drawn only in pure red and green color
(<B>Fig. 19</B>, reduced image quality).

<H2><A NAME="ss4.4">4.4 Stereo Pair 3D Mode</A>
</H2>
<P>
You are also able to view 3D images without special glasses (<B>Fig. 21</B>). To view stereoscopic
images I suggest to resize the window to get a size of 7 x 7 cm for each picture. Then you should
try to view relaxed: If the left eye looks at the left image and the right eye looks at the other
one you get a stereoscopic view.

<H2><A NAME="ss4.5">4.5 Edit Mode</A>
</H2>
<P>
Since release 0.3.0 KMovisto provides some molecule edit functions. After enabling edit mode
via menu <I>view->edit mode</I> KMovisto shows three different viewpoints (x-, y- and z-axis) of the
selected molecule (<B>Fig. 22</B>).
