By experimentation, I have reached the following tentative 
conclusions regarding the way Jmol maps colors in its 
fixedTemperature and relativeTemperature color schemes:

http://www.proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Temperature_color_schemes

That page has several examples and buttons that allow you (via hover 
reports: touch an atom with the mouse [don't click]) to ascertain 
what temperature value is mapped to white.

1. I have been unable to deduce how Jmol determines the white value 
for the relative temperature scheme. It is neither the average nor 
the median temperature value. Can someone enlighten me?

2. Are the conclusions in my first table correct?

3. Are these points documented somewhere?

4. From the examples in my second table, comparing resolution to the 
range and average temperature values, it appears to me that 
temperature values or B factors are absolute, rather than relative. 
If so, these values can be meaningfully compared between experiments. 
Are there any crystallographers reading this who care to comment?

Thanks, -Eric
