For anyone interested, I have 2 classes to read data from 2 well known
Molecular Data formats (PDB ATOM records and Gaussian Cube).

vtkMoleculeReader accepts both types (PDB and GaussianCube) and creates
a vtkPolyData (display of atoms and bonds is via glyphs and tubes)

vtkGaussianCubeReader creates a vtkStructuredPoints and display is done
via isosurface, cutting planes, volume rendering, etc...

I also have the XML description to add the readers to ParaView.

Send me mail if you'd like a copy of my source code.
