NBOView can provide a variety of 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional graphical images of electronic orbitals (or total electron density) in individual or composite forms, using a variety of file formats suitable for viewing or printing:
1-D Profile Images, displaying a profile of the orbital amplitude (or electron density) along a chosen axis through the molecule
2-D Contour Images, displaying contours of the orbital amplitude (or electron density) in a chosen plane within the molecule, analogous to a topographical map of the "elevations" (positive phase) and "depressions" (negative phase) of the undulating orbital waveform
3-D Rendered Images, displaying photograph-like images of the translucent orbital lobes (blue for positive phase, yellow for negative phase) and the underlying ball-and-stick framework of the molecular skeleton, in a chosen camera and lighting model

Composite Images, displaying overlays of two or more individual orbital images, effective in depicting the bonding or antibonding overlap of the orbitals and hence the strength of their mutual interactions
Viewing, Printing, and File Storage Options, allowing images to be stored in bitmap (.bmp) form for convenient display or file conversion by general graphical utilities (Paint, Adobe Photoshop, etc.), as well as in scalable PostScript, native HP LaserJet bitmap, or TechSet bitmap formats for high-resolution printer output.
NBOView performs all functions of the earlier ORBPLOT program, with numerous extensions and improvements. NBOView can accept input plot files from a variety of installed NBO configurations, including those embedded in host electronic structure system (ESS) packages or GENNBO 5.0W or other stand-alone versions. NBOView versions are available for a variety of environments from the technical workstation or mainframe to the PC desktop, and can accept input plot files from either current NBO 5.0 or earlier versions.
