POV-Ray

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 3 ★★★

An application for three-dimensional visualization with the ray tracing method. This application can visualize arbitrary positions and shapes of objects such as spheres and cubes. It can visualize three-dimensional data obtained from computational fluid dynamics etc. by volume rendering. It can also be used for simple three-dimensional graphical simulator with macro functions.

PyProcar

  • Level of openness 3 ★★★
  • Document quality 2 ★★☆

A python library for pre- and post-processing of first-principles electronic structure calculations. As a pre-processing tool, it can automatically generate k-point pathways for first-principles calculations of band structures based on the crystal symmetry. It can also post-process first-principles calculation results to generate band structure and density of states plots with atomic species and orbital contributions, or visualize spin textures and Fermi surfaces. It also provides a functionality for band unfolding.
