The asphere_vis tool needs an input script and a dump file from a LAMMPS run.

In examples/ellipse, you can run LAMMPS with in.ellipse to generate dump.ellipse

Copy in.ellipse and dump.ellipse to this dir.

Run the tool to create a PyMol input file called ellipse.py by typing:

../bin/asphere_vis in.ellipse dump.ellipse ellipse.py -c colors.ellipse -d

Launch PyMol on this input and you should see a nice viz of 4 ellipsoids in a box of LJ particles:

pymol ellipse.py
