Correct.

  monitor 1 2

Will draw a dotted line and measure the distance between atom numbers 1
and 2. In addition, Jmol supports the following

  monitor 1 2 3
  monitor 1 2 3 4

These commands will measure the angle or the torsion angle defined by the
3 or 4 atoms.

Correct.

If you run the same command again then it turns off the monitor

This was a bug.

  monitor off

will now turn off all monitors.

This now operates correctly in Jmol.

The code is checked into CVS and will be released with 10pre7 ... within
the next week or two.


Note that some of this behavior may change in the near future.

It seems that many people want to use 'monitor' to create artificial
bonds. The combination of 'monitor 1 2' and 'set monitor off'.

This is incompatible with the Jmol design. For example, measurements are
drawn 'above' the atoms so that they will remain visible, even if the
atoms are at 100% spacefill.

Therefore, I am probably going to implement a new command in Jmol called
'measure'. Then 'monitor' can do whatever is necessary for RasMol/Chime
compatibility, and 'measure' can be used for measurements.
