KiNG (Kinemage, Next Generation) is an interactive system for three-dimensional vector graphics. It supports a set of graphics primitives that make it suitable for many types of graphs, plots, and other illustrations; although its first use was to display macromolecular structures for biophysical research. KiNG builds on Mage, JavaMage, and the "kinemage" (kinetic image) concept to deliver a full-featured Java application with a user-friendly interface and integrated editing features. The KiNG jar file can be used within a web page as a Java applet or Java object to promote easy access to kinemages or coordinate files from a web browser. Download download arrow kingInBrowser.zip for further instructions.

Versions of KiNG 2 and higher need a Java Virtual Machine of version 1.5 or higher. For MacOSX users, system version 10.4 or higher is needed. (KiNG version 1.6, which requires JVM 1.3 or higher, is available in our browsable download section.) For your convenience, we provide platform-specific installers that bundle a private copy of the Java runtime and libraries with the KiNG program itself. This installation of Java is used only by KiNG and will not cause conflicts with any other Java applications that may reside on your computer.

The Windows 2.14+ version of KiNG now includes Java 1.6, for better compatibility with Windows Vista Aero. If you downloaded an older version of KiNG previously, you will have to replace your download with a new version from the link below to get the new Java. Email vbc3 AT duke.edu if you have issues with the new version.
