Hi Andreas (and others not aware of the awesome power of Jmol's state script), One thing is that when I typed 'state script' I meant the actual state that Jmol outputs and not a script that is just a list of commands. It is the 'state' you can copy from Jmol when you press the 'state' button in the console or "show---> current state" from the Jmol menu. It is the current state of everything on the screen at the moment and can be easily recorded (saved locally as text)/shared and can be pasted into Jmol to get back that view.
I was referring to in my reply using the state script to take other Jmol views or scenes and copy them to Proteopedia. Proteopedia is an online site at www.proteopedia.org. It is a wiki project for structural biology. You can make Jmol scenes and share them with others or keep them private. The are stored on a server in Israel. To do what I am talking about see http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Help:Copying_FirstGlance_Scenes_into_Proteopedia The page that link takes you to is written for copying from FirstGlance in Jmol to Proteopedia but it actually is more general than that. It allows you to copy any Jmol state script from any instance of Jmol to any other instance of Jmol (even a local one in the application too), assuming you load the correct model into the Jmol to which you are copying. And since you don't want to trigger a 'load' command but do want to describe the scene fully otherwise, you comment the load command out. I have found that two slashes like '//' also work to comment out the load command. One problem can be if the versions happen to be vastly different but for most things it works. Another issue is that page (http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Help:Copying_FirstGlance_Scenes_into_Proteopedia) seems like it needs some updating because I think they fixed things in new versions so the 'state' button in the console indeed gives you the state. Hope this helps, Wayne ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 09:00:05 -0700 From: Andreas Prlic <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Jmol-users] Sharing of Jmol scripts?
