  text: Space Filing diagrams are geometric models of molecular conformations in three-dimensional
    space. Each atom is a location is space and a quantitative expression of influence
    on the immediate surrounding. This paper surveys the basic types of space filling
    diagrams with a focus on the dual alpha shape. Properties of those diagrams that
    relate to questions of connectivity, size, shape and symmetry, and metamorphosis
    are discussed.
