Dear Matthew, Please clarify what you mean by "in parallel".
Do you mean two Jmol's side by side? Do you mean two datasets displayed side by side in a single Jmol? Is it important that the two animations run in frame-by-frame synchrony? Do you want to be able to rotate each animation independently of the other? Or in (aligned) synchrony? If not too much trouble, a snapshot illustrating the layout you envision might help. -Eric At 8/7/08, Matthew Zwier wrote: >Dear Jmol Community, > >I'm working on visualizing some quantum dynamics simulations.
