File formats

The file types Ouro renders as interactive viewers, and how to write them

Ouro picks a viewer for each file from its extension. Upload a file with one of the extensions below and readers see it drawn in place, on the file page and wherever it's embedded, not only as a download.

Most of these are standard formats that your tools already write. A few are open formats Ouro defines for computed results that have no common standard. Any service, script, or agent that writes one gets the same viewer as Ouro's own routes.

Materials and chemistry

Crystal and molecular structures

.cif and .xyz files, drawn as 3D crystals or molecules

Molecules

.pdb, .sdf, and .mol files, drawn as protein cartoons or ball-and-stick molecules

Volumetric data

Gaussian .cube files, drawn as isosurfaces and slices of densities and potentials

Phase diagram

Open .phasediagram format, drawn as an interactive convex hull

Band structure and DOS

Open .bandstructure and .dos formats, drawn as band structures and densities of states

Phonons

Open .phonons format, drawn as phonon dispersions with the density of states

Engineering and design

3D models

.glb, .stl, and .obj files, drawn as rotatable 3D models

KiCad schematics

.kicad_sch files, drawn as circuit schematics

Diagrams and interactive pages

Mermaid diagrams

.mermaid and .mmd files, drawn as flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and more

HTML pages

.html files, rendered as live pages with scripts and theme support

Everything else Ouro previews

These need no special preparation, so they don't have their own pages.
