Does this package can invoke a VMD GUI or just uses the python-api of VMD #38

I want to use VMD to visualize my own python package. Does this package can visualize my data or just use VMD python-api to compute some data?

This package doesn't include the VMD GUI in terms of the traditional interface. You'll still just see your Python terminal. However, it is capable of doing off-screen rendering (the render module) to generate figures. You can compile VMD with Python support if you're interested in having full GUI functionality.
