Hi,
This is probably a dumb question, but I've gone too long without figuring
this out. I'm using Perl, but I assume this would apply to any language
other than Javascript where one cannot simply access Jmol's data structures:
How do I get data out of Jmol and into my script?
Sending commands is not problem, I just print to the command line. But,
when I want to know values (e.g., I send "show ORIENTATION" and need to
know the results), is there a simple way to do that?
I already kludged this once by writing a jmol script on the fly, which
saves data to a file, and then my Perl script reads it. E.g.:
======================
load $inputFile; # a molecular model
x = getProperty("boundBoxInfo.vector"); # a jmol native command that
doesn't work in Perl
write VAR x "$output_file"; # the jmol write file
command
=======================
That sort of offends the senses, but I guess I could abstract it into a
function which would make it fairly transparent for Perl to use the
getProperty commands whenever I want. Perhaps the main concern there would
be that the getProperty list of commands seems pretty short compared to the
overall list of commands. I wonder how much data there is that I can't
access that way.
It won't surprise me if the answer is "rewrite it in javascript." I was
just trying to avoid that since I'm more comfortable in Perl.
