Add general API for visualizing particles #213

Closed andeplane closed 7 years ago

andeplane commented 7 years ago

Atomify should be able to just visualize LAMMPS trajectories, XYZ files and other formats. Of course the internal computes/fixes won't work in this case (unless we use the LAMMPS machinery to store all atom positions and apply computes/fixes on them, an effective rerun command that is).

In principle Atomify could use other engines as well (such as GROMACS, NAMD etc), so the visualization API shouldn't care about this.

I think we shouldn't try to be what other tools are (Ovito/VMD etc), so let's stick with not being able to open files.
