Yes, I agree, David. I love the way Jmol automatically adjusts dot density with zoom -- Chime did not do this and it was a problem.
But I agree that when the molecule is zoomed to small size (or with a very large molecule so the atoms must be small to fit the molecule in the view space), the dots density is too low, and it is hard to see the dots. So I would also like an option to at least increase dot density when currently the density is too low to see well. It is possible this could also be solved without any option -- just by making the dot density higher when the atoms are small. -Eric At 8/23/06, you wrote: >One nice feature of Chime/RasMol was the ability to change the density >of dots.
