In reply to my query about SVG and preparing Jmol images for publication,

As I understand it, Jmol renders by generating a bitmap on screen and
updates it continuously. So I don't thik it is possible to convert to a vector
image.
Ok. Apologies for my naivety. I guess I wasn’t thinking about 3D graphics
properly. Just assuming because the image was generated from vector-type
commands that it could be converted into 2D vector commands.
But am I wrong in thinking that Rasmol used to have a save as pdf or esp
option. I have a feeling that some time last century (when Rasmol still ran on
my Mac) I converted such files to Illustrator. Perhaps it was something else.

You can create an image of whatever size you want in pixels using the WRITE
command. Many consider these adequate for publication. And, as a bonus, if
you use the PNGJ option:
write PNGJ 2000 2000 "big.png"
So you can. I never knew that.
But the problem is how many users of a website you’d set up (or the PDB website
which uses Jmol) would know that - or even consider using the console?
Screen shots are definitely not recommended.
That may be so, but I had to use them for a recent paper. What I did was set up
JSmol on the internal Apache server of my Mac with the Richardson PDB
structures I use and created a webpage so that the JSmol view occupied most of
the screen. That way the screen shots had enough pixels to be converted to
300dpi at publication size.
btw I was going to add my website to the Wiki. Do I have to sign up separately
from this mailing list to edit it?
Thanks to both for your replies.
