The same approach could also be used to build the script for a full dump. Instead of using the selected atoms, the atoms with the same properties could be grouped in a first step. Then the described approach could be used for each of these groups. I know that I have simplified things, but I just wanted to present the general idea.


It's certainly an interesting challenge -- the goal, to provide a "snapshot" of the state of the system. There are two logical approaches I can think of:

a) a record of scripts run.
b) a dump of properties for every single atom, preferably grouped into sets.

While you suggest that there could be hundreds or thousands of selects -- this is not a real problem. A general solution is needed.

Let's see what Miguel thinks.


I guess it might work, but depending of the kind and number of commands it might even take minutes to follow all the commands.

Oh, I doubt that. Remember, no rendering while this is running. Jmol is exceptionally fast. But let's keep thinking about this. At least I should be able to have for you a mechanism that allows script history to be delivered. Orientation is not an issue -- there is only one final orientation. So it's just select/operate, select/operate, etc., and one final orientation setting.

 And the combined
script might be really large.


I think it's worth experimenting with.
