Hi,

I see that there is an option coming on creating interactive 3D pdf
figures[1] with Jmol[2].

A question and a comment

When will this option be available?

In the post Robert Hanson compares this feature to POV-Ray, i.e. a
specialized feature for the experts.  I would disagree with that.  Unlike
POV-ray, interactive graphics provides something fundamentally new to the
user and would be used a lot if it is easy to use (from what I can see
JReality is not for the casual user). 

I would therefore advocate making this option as easy as possible to use
within Jmol.  In my view, interactive 3D pdf figures should really be the
rule rather than the exception in scientific publishing, and Jmol could
lead the way.

Best regards, Jan
