I have three aligned pdb files loaded in an applet, and check boxes that control the display of each one (on or off). When the page loads, I have labels displayed on one of the models, and a separate checkbox to turn the labels off, if desired.

Although the labels are attached to one model by necessity, the situation really calls for labels that can be displayed independently of which model is showing. (If the user turns off the labeled model, the labels turn off automatically, because the model is not displayed.)

The simplest solution would be to be able to display the labels of something that is not visible, but I cannot see a way to do this in Jmol.

If I have separate label checkboxes for each model, it's a bit cumbersome in the user interface, but beyond that, it becomes necessary to control the state of each checkbox from nearly every other checkbox, and this is not a situation that can be resolved using the built in Master-Group checkbox code in Jmol.js.

(In fact, I modified the Jmol.js code to allow the label checkbox to be unchecked without unchecking the master checkbox for displaying the model. That's because I need a one-way relationship between just two checkboxes).

Any ideas?
