I just checked in some code to include atom vectors in the calculations
for molecule diameter. It is now the case that atom vectors do not go off
the screen after a FitToScreen operation. For an example of this you can
see samples/cs2.xyz.

Q: What are these atom vectors used for? What do they represent? There is
one reference in the code to "atom vibrational vector", but I didn't see
anyplace which was using these vectors for any type of calculations.

Q: For me, the name is confusingly similar to the other Vectors. Can you
suggest a better name?

Q: How important are these atom vectors? Who uses them?
 - There are several bugs related to how these vectors are drawn,
particularly with respect to the paint z-order.
 - These bugs existed in previous versions of jmol
 - There seem to be several "fudge factors" related to the screen
representation of these atoms. Is the magnitude of them really not that
important?
 - I could only find one example of an Atom Vector in samples ...
samples/cs2.xyz.
