Visualization

Visualization in BMaps is mostly handled using the mini-menus on the right-side bar. However, there are also a range of style features available by right clicking an atom or residue in the workspace. See the sections below for more info about the capabilities in each.

Visualization Side Bar

In addition to the components discussed below, visualization may also be changed using the Select with query button at the bottom of the Visualization Side Bar. This option is discussed elsewhere.
