This applet displays selected atomic and molecular orbitals, calculated from the wave function. The data for each orbital was prouced by a Monte Carlo process. A coordinate was chosen at random, and the orbital's probability function was calculated for that coordinate. If the probability calculated for that point was greater than a random number chosen from the range 0 to 1, the point was selected, otherwise it was skipped. The process continued till 5000 points were found.
On color displays, the color of each point represents the value of the probability function at that point, ranging from red through green through blue through purple.
