# Atom viewer display

Use the buttons on the Atom viewer's toolbar to change the display.

- Hide or show the index: The index provides a key that indicates the different species displayed.
- Word or symbol display: Choose whether to display the index using words or symbols.
- Turn the display of water ions on or off: Water ions are hidden by default when you look at the animation of a solution. The water appears as a blue background, to let you identify the other species in the solution more easily.
- Turn the wireframe on or off: A wireframe (or boundary box) appears around the animation by default.
