Description
Only 5 years after the first WebGL-based molecular graphics program, [GLmol](http://webglmol.osdn.jp/index-en.html), was created, this space is quite crowded now, with more than 10 open-source WebGL macromolecular viewers developed across the world. Despite of this, we felt that none of them can present electron density well enough to replace desktop programs, so to fill this gap we started to work on a viewer focused on the needs of crystallographers.
We will discuss the design of our viewer [UglyMol](https://uglymol.github.io), as well as trade-offs between the map accuracy and the download size, and between the quality and the efficiency of rendering.
UglyMol was originally designed to present models and electron density from our ligand screening pipeline [Dimple](http://ccp4.github.io/dimple/). It was then re-purposed to show also reciprocal space density as reconstructed from diffraction images.
