Dean, just to be clear -- I was missing something as well -- If you are using mouse syncing and not script syncing, then you should be able to send any rotation commands you want to one of the applets and the other won't respond. No need to turn sync on and off. So you should be able to rotate the models independently with scripting to set up the stereo anytime, even with syncing on. Since you are syncing with the mouse, you don't have to worry about any rotations you would do with scripting -- they won't be transmitted anyway. You just have to worry about resets, file loads, and such, where in each case you will have to make sure both applets load (using script syncing?) and then rotate one model and not the other. (Yes, you could also do both -- one one way and the other the other way, but Jmol just rotates the right-hand one.) The proper angle is 3 degrees (-1.5 and 1.5) for overlaid stereo. 5 degrees is for side-by-side stereo.
That said, I still think you are asking too much of sync. Stereo should be absolutely simultaneous projection. There WILL be some delay, especially for larger structures. Are you sure you can't have buttons and such below the applet and still have a good stereo effect with the Jmol stereo command? Bob -- Robert M.
