Formats
=======
A limited number of commonly used formats can be read or written. The
formats are particularly suitable to interface with molecular
visualization tools such as VMD_, PyMOL_, or Chimera_.
Adding new formats is not difficult and user-contributed
format reader/writer can be easily integrated---send a `pull request`_.

Supported file formats
----------------------
The package can be easily extended. The OpenDX_ format is widely
understood by many molecular viewers and is sufficient for many
applications that were encountered so far. Hence, at the moment only a
small number of file formats is directly supported.
