Hi Angel --

I'm trying to create a visualization for a lattice based Kinetic Monte Carlo 
simulation. The lattice points never move, so the only thing that will change 
from one frame to another is the ID of each grid point. Most of the iterations 
are only diffusion, so an atom moves from one grid site to another, leaving the 
entire N-2 other grid sites unchanged. My current solution is to only write a 
frame to file if the iteration wasn't a diffusion step.

I'm not sure what would look best... and I guess in the end that will depend on 
the final users of my project (not me). The main requirement is that the task 
is simple for those people, so at most, I'd like to embed as much as I can in 
the input file.

My idea actually was to make a movie file (.mpeg) where each video frame 
corresponds to an iteration, and then the user can use like quicktime to watch 
the trajectory. But yea, we're going to want to watch it forwards and 
backwards, but obviously the movie itself could be created by just moving 
forwards...

So would it work to simply change the ID of a grid site, as you recommend, and 
then add the frame to a movie? Currently, I've written all my data into an xyz 
file, but it sounds like your recommendation is going to end up looking more 
like a Jmol script?

I think it might be ok if the user doesn't get to rotate the model around, etc, 
since it's 2D anyway.


Amos.
