Dear Miguel and jmol community,

While I was in Japan recently showing off Protein Explorer, and talking up jmol, there were frequent requests to be able to export publication quality images. People who learn how to use Protein Explorer and finally get the view they want would like to be able to save it in publication quality, not just screen-shot quality. This is not possible while Protein Explorer uses Chime, but might be possible when it is ported to jmol applet.

My impression is that MolScripts and Raster3D or Pov-Ray are one of the most common mechanisms for making publication quality images. PyMOL is increasingly popular as well.

Is a mechanism to export a MolScript or somesuch under consideration for Jmol, e.g. the signed applet? If yes, what is the status of it? If no, is anyone on this user-list knowledgable about how to translate a jmol view into e.g. a molscript or pymol script?

-Eric
