ALLigaTOR is a program currently in development that will be able to cluster,
order and display the solutions generated by SPROUT. If the problem is not
tightly constrained, SPIDeR can produce several thousands of skeletons and
MARABOU can further generate several molecular structures for
each skeleton generated by SPIDeR. There is clearly a need for a program that
will permit the user to navigate through such large answer set.
To navigate logically through a large number of objects, it is necessary to
sort or cluster these objects according to some criteria. These criteria will
be selected by the user from a list of possible criteria.
A complete set of visualisation tools is currently being studied. These tools
will provide the user with the possibility of viewing one or more structures
he or she has selected as well as clusters and sorted lists of molecules.
