The *style* keyword determines what kind of data is written to the
dump file(s) and in what format.
Note that *atom*, *custom*, *dcd*, *xtc*, and *xyz* style dump files
can be read directly by `VMD <https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd>`_,

a popular tool for visualizing and analyzing trajectories from atomic
and molecular systems. For reading *netcdf* style dump files, the
netcdf plugin needs to be recompiled from source using a NetCDF version
compatible with the one used by LAMMPS. The bundled plugin binary
uses are very old version that is not compatible.
Likewise the `OVITO visualization package <https://www.ovito.org>`_,
popular for materials modeling, can read the *atom*, *custom*,
*local*, *xtc*, *cfg*, *netcdf*, and *xyz* style atom dump files
directly. WIth version 3.8 and above, OVITO can also read and

visualize *grid* style dump files with grid cell data, including
