The command 'reset' will restore the molecule to its original scaling and position. But it does *not* reset the color ... nor reset to the default atom size. It probably should. I need to investigate a bit and see what it does in RasMol. I'll let you know. > Turning on cpk or spacefill currently resets the style to 'shaded'. > This can be changed back to the previous setting with javascript > however it isn't always easy to know what the previous setting was. Hmmm ... yes that is true. Let's talk about these other atom styles for a minute. I am interested in knowing which atom/bond styles you are using and what your motivation is for using them. Why? Because the development version has much faster rendering. And the shaded rendering is just as fast as the others. So, frankly, there is a good chance that the other atom styles are going to go away in the future. So, now is your chance to give me a reason to keep them. > A command to turn on atom numbering within a script, possibly with a > toggle feature to make my job easier! Check out the 'label' command label %i --> turns on numbers label %a --> turns on atom type label off --> turns off atom labels As with other commands, this affects the currently selected set of atoms. > Also it might be nice to be able > to add or subtract from the zoom value instead of setting it to a > specific value. Hmmm ... I can probably make that work. A leading + sign would go up by a percentage and a leading - sign would make it go down by a percentage. (I will have to look at the parser and see how happy it will be with a leading plus sign.) So, presumably the following sequences would be exactly the same zoom 250 zoom 100; zoom +150 zoom 100; zoom +100; zoom +50 zoom 300; zoom -50 > It seems that some .pdb's refuse to load ( one attached ). I'll check it out. But probably Egon will have to look at it. He is the "file" guy. > Sending scripts to applets that are currently running a loop e.g. > rotating molecules, cancels the loop. The answer I am supposed to give at this point is ... that is a feature, not a bug :-) The loop command is an implementation of the same command in Chime. I don't have any idea what happens in Chime. But I decided that I could only handle one script running at a time. If it is not doing what you need, then talk to me about what you are trying to accomplish. I'm sure we can work something out. Excellent suggestions and feedback.
