Description

	Given a molecule,
	atoms within a molecule.  The cylinders start with a
	default radius for the equilibrium condition.  As the
	bond gets stronger (shorter distance), the radius is
	enlarged proportionately.  As bonds get weaker (longer
	distance), the cylinders become long and thin, and, at
	some point "pop" (i.e. are no longer visible).

Inputs

	molecule - molecule

Parameters

equilibrium radius (float)

Outputs

	rubberbonds - geom
