The 3D Screen is the 3D interactive environment where the molecule and
its symmetry elements are displayed and the animation of the symmetry
operation is performed.
The molecule can be displayed in Ball and Stick or Wireframe format.
The type indentification (single, double, aromatic) and the color of the
bonds can be set in the Preferences window.
The symmetry axes are displayed as yellow tubes with arrowheads.
The symmetry planes are displayed as light blue semitransparent areas
with a quadrille texture. The shape of the plane can be set to be square
or circular in the Preferences window.
The center of inversion is displayed as a semitransparent yellow sphere.
The molecule can be manipulated either freely by dragging it, or by
the appropriate buttons.
