Dear Robert,
Thank you for the reply. I understand that I can call
viewer.loadInline() after the component is constructed... However, I
don't like this :)
I would like to design a component (JComponent), which takes a
structure (as String) in a constructor parameter and shows the
structure in 3D.
JComponent threeDcomponent = new MyThreeDComponent(myStructure);
In Swing, I think this is a common approach. For example:
JComponent labelComponent = new JLabel(myText);
or
JComponent tableComponent = new JTable(myData, columnNames);
However, with Jmol 11.8 designing such component is impossible.
I will always have to write
JComponent threeDcomponent = new MyThreeDComponent();
((MyThreeDComponent ) threeDcomponent).loadStructure(myStructure);
So, even though this is not a huge problem, I believe it should be
changed.
Or is there any practical reason why model should not be created
before the component is shown?
Best,
Tomas
