The software uses a XYZ or OBJ file to generate the 3D graphics represented by the file. Various parameters can be specified by users. In the generated 3D graphics window, users may rightor left-click mouse to zoom in or zoom out the 3D graphics, or mouse-drag the graphics to rotate the 3D graphics, or slide scrollbar to vertically or horizontally translate the 3D graphics. The 3D graphics can be saved as an image file (in PNG, JPG, or other formats) at its current appearance. Both visual3D 1.0 and demonstration data files were given. http://www.iaees.org/publications/journals/ces/articles/2023-13(4)/software-for-3D-visualization-of-objects-and-molecules.pdf
