I have situations in which (at the desired zoom) the dot density is too low or too high.
I would like to suggest two ways this could be improved. FIRST SUGGESTION There could be an option to control the base density of dots. If, for example, we define the default dot density to be 100, then I'd like to be able to say e.g. dots 200 or dots 50 to make the base density twice, or half of the default (at all zooms). In Chime, such a dot density control (with exactly the above syntax) is implemented. However, it is effective at only one zoom, since the density does not change automatically with zooming in Chime. Miguel Howard's innovation in Jmol of having automatic dot density changes during zooming is a huge improvement. SECOND SUGGESTION It appears to me that there are three zoom levels at which dot density is automatically stepped up or down. I think this is too course. I think there should be twice as many steps for the zoom range currently involved, plus more steps at higher zooms. I think the second suggestion should be implemented first. It is possible that with finer step points, command-level density control would be unnecessary. Bob, I would welcome some improvements along these lines and the opportunity to test them.
