You CAN export an image from the applet, but you have to have the right browser. (Does not work in MSIE.) That is, it is not a general solution for the general user, but any web page developer can certainly take "snapshots" of the model for use in other applications. This was discussed earlier on this list, but I can't access the list archives right now.
The command from the console or via JavaScript is getproperty image The result is a base-64 encoded JPEG image that looks like this: /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAAAAAQABAAD//gBBSl... Pop that into an <img> tag using Firefox or Opera (not MSIE), and you have an image that you can copy into your clipboard and do anything you would do with a JPG. The JavaScript required to create the tag looks like this: var image = jmolGetPropertyAsString("image") document.getElementById("someDiv").innerHTML ='<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,'+image+'">' This is implemented in <http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs/examples-11/new.htm>. Just under the applet, click on the word "image" or the word "stereo". The stereo image can be generated by: var width = 350 var height = 350 var s = '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr>' +'<td><img width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT" src="data:image/jpeg;base64,IMAGE"></td>' +'<td><img width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT" src="data:image/jpeg;base64,IMAGE"></td>' +'</tr></table>' s.replace(/WIDTH/g,width) s.replace(/HEIGHT/g,height) var angle = 2.5 jmolScriptWait("rotate y " + (-angle)) s = s.replace(/IMAGE/,jmolGetPropertyAsString("image")) jmolScriptWait("rotate y "+ (2 * angle)) s = s.replace(/IMAGE/,jmolGetPropertyAsString("image")) jmolScriptWait("rotate y " + (-angle)) document.getElementById("someDiv").innerHTML =s In that web page this sort of code is run within a pop-up window that is running the jmol.js commands on the applet in the opener page. So you will see "opener." in front of all the jmol commands. Those pop-ups are getimage.htm and getstereo.htm in that directory.
