This work implements Caspar-Klug Theory to
generate high-quality, vectorized capsid cartoons
in the browser and is the first online tool that
provides comprehensive style customization,
geometry, and SVG export of icosahedra and nets
with different lattice structures.
Motivation Few online services exist for rendering
high-quality viral capsid figures compatible with
common productivity software to develop effective
infographics in the field of virology.
Results The capsid.js library renders class I viral
capsids within an online application that
parameterizes style options, perspectives, and
lattice patterns with SVG export.
