MAGMA ("Molecular Animation, Graphics and Modeling Application framework") is a rapid application development (RAD) system in the field of molecular modelling, computational chemistry and computational biology. It is an extension dynamic-link library (DLL) for The Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFC) written completely in C++ that acts as a framework for developing molecular graphics and modelling applications under all generations of Microsoft Windows operating systems. It is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). MAGMA has been developed in Armin Madadkar Sobhani Research Group at Bioinformatics Department of Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics (IBB), University of Tehran.
Major features[edit]
- It supports all major versions of Microsoft Windows and Visual C++.
- Easy installation and deployment using automated installation file.
- Easy generation of new applications in few steps using a specially designed Custom Application Wizard.
- A comprehensive online help which is automatically integrated into MSDN during setup and provides context sensitive help during programming in IDE.
- Support for plugin technology at the library level instead of application level.
- Easy development and installation of new plugins using a specially designed Custom Plugin Wizard.
- Support for loading/saving molecules, models and workspaces in compressed binary file format suitable for exchanging information between all applications developed using MAGMA. In addition, each application can have proprietary compressed binary format of its own.
- OpenGL was used for displaying molecular structures.
- Ability to Print and Print preview of molecular graphics.
- Ability to save molecular views in more than 16 different graphical file formats.
- Support for exclusive full screen mode suitable for 3D shutter glasses.
- Support for cube map texture backgrounds.
- SIMD extensions (i.e. 3DNow!, 3DNow! Extended, SSE, and SSE2) are used for matrix and vector calculations for supported platforms.
