When I was at the University of Geneva I worked briefly with ROOT (https://root.cern).
Later when I entered the #CompChem and #MaterialsScience community I realised no one knew it, which seems to me like a pitty since much of some workloads for visualization and data analysis could be done there. Even replicating some functionalities of XCrysden or avogadro would be doable. It would be awesome to have found ROOT macros lying around about visualizing #orbitals or #molecules / #crystals.

To visualizing the probabilty of an electron to appear in one of the #hydrogen's #atom #orbitals you'll need to use the so-called Spherical Harmonics. These are a set of orthogonal polynomials on a surface of a sphere. See here a #visualisation of one of the possible orbitals created by the cloudplot functionality of #NumeRe
