Gusts—this is *awesome*. I have forked your GitHub repository and intend to
integrate the plugin into my Jmol web app:
http://www.metallacycle.com/uiji/
Jmol.js includes not just functions for building Jmol applets, but also
buttons, checkboxes, etc. linked up to a Jmol applet on the page. Perhaps
the plugin could implement these functions in some way, as in...
$('#jmolButton').jmolButton();
I would also be interested in setting Jmol parameters thusly:
$('#Jmolapplet').jmol({ parameter: 'bondmodeor', value: true });
In my fork, I've added a parameters object to _defaults that contains all
the Jmol parameters as of 12.2.10; you might find that a useful reference.
I also added a simple bit of code to _proc that allows one to set Jmol
parameters using the above syntax.
