simulations can be visualized (and analyzed) in a variety of ways.
LAMMPS snapshots are created by the "dump"_dump.html command which can

create files in several formats. The native LAMMPS dump format is a
text file (see "dump atom" or "dump custom") which can be visualized
by the "xmovie"_Section_tools.html#xmovie program, included with the
LAMMPS package. This produces simple, fast 2d projections of 3d
systems, and can be useful for rapid debugging of simulation geometry
and atom trajectories.
by several popular visualization tools. The "dump image"_dump_image.html
and "dump movie"_dump_image.html styles can output internally rendered
images and convert a sequence of them to a movie during the MD run.
Several programs included with LAMMPS as auxiliary tools can convert
native LAMMPS dump files to other formats. See the
"Section 9"_Section_tools.html doc page for details. The first is
the "ch2lmp tool"_Section_tools.html#charmm, which contains a
lammps2pdb Perl script which converts LAMMPS dump files into PDB
files. The second is the "lmp2arc tool"_Section_tools.html#arc which
converts LAMMPS dump files into Accelrys' Insight MD program files.
The third is the "lmp2cfg tool"_Section_tools.html#cfg which converts
LAMMPS dump files into CFG files which can be read into the
"AtomEye"_atomeye visualizer.

3d OpenGL visualization and one that creates SVG images of dump file

LAMMPS can create XYZ files directly (via "dump xyz") which is a
simple text-based file format used by many visualization programs
including "VMD"_vmd.
LAMMPS can create DCD files directly (via "dump dcd") which can be
read by "VMD"_vmd in conjunction with a CHARMM PSF file. Using this
form of output avoids the need to convert LAMMPS snapshots to PDB
files. See the "dump"_dump.html command for more information on DCD
files.
LAMMPS can create XTC files directly (via "dump xtc") which is GROMACS
file format which can also be read by "VMD"_vmd for visualization.
See the "dump"_dump.html command for more information on XTC files.
