Dear AMBER users,


The NGLView developers are very excited to announce the release of a new
NGLView version (v0.5.1) for interactive trajectory visualization in
Jupyter notebooks.

*Documentation*: http://arose.github.io/nglview/latest/index.html


*Why NGLView?*

NGLView gives you quick access to the trajectories you are analyzing inside
of Jupyter notebooks (http://jupyter.org/).


*Highlights:*

* Supports various file formats (.nc, .dcd, .pdb, .mol2, …), including
density volumes (MRC/MAP/CCP4, DX/DXBIN, CUBE)
* Uses cpptraj (via its Python interface, pytraj) and ParmEd as two of
NGLView’s backends for trajectory loading
* Uses WebGL for GPU supported rendering
* User interaction (mouse picking, selection language, image export)
* Supports remote visualization via SSH port forwarding
* Scalability: works well for 100-200K atom system
* Convenient atom selection language
* High resolution screenshots


*Installation (for AMBER users):*

amber.conda install nglview -c ambermd

(please see Amber16 manual, “2.2. Python in Amber” (page 26) for further
information).
