Line Integral Convolution for Real-Time Illustration of Molecular Surface Shape and Salient Regions

In this paper, we discuss the reproducibility of our work presented at EuroVis 2014 [LKEP14], which describes an illustrative rendering method tailored to molecular surfaces. We distinguish between the reproducibility of the data sets that were used for figures and performance analysis and the reproducibility in the sense of re-implementing the method. For the latter, we focus on each step of the algorithm and discuss the implementation challenges. We give further details and explain the most difficult parts. Additionally, we discuss how the models that were used can be recreated and the availability of the underlying data. Finally, we discuss the current state of reproducibility of our method and reflect on the problem of offering the source code of a research project in general.
