Dear Bob,
It will be absolutely fantabulous if users of FirstGlance can save
images and animations of the current view easily. Those animations (from
the capture command) are gorgeous and attention-grabbing in Powerpoint
slides.
With JSmol 14.4.1_2015.12.23, I have begun writing code in FirstGlance
to make it easy. Saving static images ("write image" command) to the
local disk from an online FirstGlance works from JSmol (no Java) in all
popular browsers, both Windows and OS X, except for the Microsoft Edge
browser.
Preliminary tests (from the JSmol console) indicate that saving
animations (multi-GIF files) will also work in Firefox (only), although
the capture command generates 360 frames /very slow//ly/ in JSmol.
Java:
Static images can be saved from the Jmol_S Java applet when the "write"
command is issued in the Jmol console, but not from Jmol scripts built
into the website. Jmol_S says "write <<< cancel" in an error message.
The inability to save "capture" files from Jmol_S Java applet when the
command comes from the website is unfortunate since Java is enormously
faster to generate the multi-GIF frames.
I plan to continue developing a user interface to make saving these
files easy from FirstGlance ...
UNLESS you plan to disable this capability in JSmol as well. I hope not
but I understand if security requires it.
Please let me know your plans so I don't end up developing a user
interface that is inoperable in newer versions of JSmol.
Best regards, Eric
