OK, I think I get that. Then the problem was just that the first
applet created the matrix, and the second changed its contents WHILE
the first one was executing. That certainly explains the result for
two applets on the same page -- one isosurface being offset in one
applet just because a second applet is right behind it creating its
own isosurface with a different matrix.
So if you have an array, say:
final static Point3f[] myArray = new Point3f[10];
the first applet hitting that sets all the points to {0,0,0}, but the
next one will not initialize, and so it will find whatever values were
left there from the previous applet?
I guess that makes sense. Oh so tricky, though.
What sort of problems should we expect for two different pages pulling
up two different versions of Jmol?
