[Jmol-users] Fwd: jmol-11.6 bug

2008-10-05 Thread Robert Hanson
Victor,

Thanks for the picture. That's just an illusion. The 11.6.RC16 image has

  set perspectiveDepth OFF

and the two balls are exactly the same size.
The 11.4.6 image has

  set perspectiveDepth ON

and something like

  set cameraFactor 0.1

showing a bizarrely distorted molecule.

The default for Jmol is

  set perspectiveDepth ON

but that will automatically be turned off if a crystal structure is loaded.

Bob

Question: Can you watch this movie on your machine? If so, how's the
resolution?

http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/temp/rasraf.avi

It's supposed to be 145 frames of a molecular dynamics calculation. It was
created using the following Jmol script followed by running a program called
VideoMach:

function createFrame
 var fname = "movie_"+_frameID[-2][0] + ".jpg"
 write image 500 500 @fname
end function

function createMovie
 var nframes = {*}.model.max
 for (var i = 1; i <= nframes; i = i + 1)
   frame @i
   createFrame
 end for
end function

createMovie

No problem seeing it here Bob (OSX 10.4.11, Camino 1.6.4 with QT 7.5.5 
with the Xvid codec). I did re-export it as an image sequence (145 
images) and created a new movie at 2 fps (using QT) to make it more 
easily watched. There are some rather odd H atoms wandering 
around/displayed which I'm assuming are the result of some strangeness 
in the MD calculations rather than coming from Jmol.

Re: [Jmol-users] jmol movie

2008-10-05 Thread Robert Hanson
OK, then I think we have the capability now of creating Jmol video movies.
The addition to Jmol, to be in 11.7, not 11.6, is;

write frames {xxx} "movie.jpg"

{xxx} is some atom expression, such as {*} (all frames) or {1.0} (all models
in the first file) or {1.1,1.3,1.5} (three specific frames). Files will be
created by replacing "" with "0001" "0002" etc. as necessary, creating a
set of image files (JPEG in this case).

What you do with those files is up to you. I loaded them into VideoMach just
to see if it could handle them, which it did, apparently. I purposely set
the frame rate very high. But there are plenty of utilities out there that
can do this. Maybe someone with more experience can fill us in on a few of
the options.

Re: [Jmol-users] moving draw objects produces duplicates

2008-10-05 Thread Robert Hanson
OK, I'll not worry about it. You can force Jmol to create only one object
using the FIXED keyword within the DRAW command. That makes the object
appear in every frame. Unless you do that, if four files are displayed, you
might get four separate points.

No --- WinXP/Java 1.6.0_10rc works fine for me for "load =1blu" using a
local signed applet. Please try that update. Could just be a Java bug. There
should be no such issue there.

The MacOS issue was resolved by not using the Mac "look and feel" (which
doesn't include that file entry box). That was a change made in Jmol
11.6.RC15 on 9/15/2008. But if you can't enter a file name in that Linux
box, what is it for? Sounds like a Linux/Java bug.

[Jmol-users] jmol movie

2008-10-05 Thread Nick Greeves
Fine on MacOS X 10.5.5/Safari/QT resolution clear but rather fast to  
actually see anything!
While it was downloading, it played a bit then stopped and was  
pixelated. Fine once it was all downloaded though.

All the best

[Jmol-users] en_GB translation ?

2008-10-05 Thread Robert Hanson
Recently an en_GB (United Kingdom) translation for Jmol was introduced. I'm
fixing that a bit, but at the same time I'm wondering if people realize that
this adds 200K to the size of the applet for all UK users. (That's a 30%
increase in base size.)

Questions:

1. Not that it isn't good to have this language variant, but is the
trade-off in download size worth it? [Obviously it is for other languages,
but I'd like to hear what our UK users think.]

2. Should then en_GB be the default for en_XX -- a country other than US but
not GB?

3. Should we perhaps package the languages classes separately or in separate
groups so that the entire translation package isn't downloaded with any
particular language switch?

Re: [Jmol-users] ff3 vs safari.. again.. load

2008-10-05 Thread Robert Hanson
Angel has it exactly. Just to be clear, for ANY browser:

1) Never use jmolScript() during page loading. The applet won't be there.
2) Never run a Jmol script from the body onload event. On most browsers the
applet won't be loaded yet.
3) If possible, put whatever start-up script you want to use in the
jmolApplet() call itself.
4) If that is not possible for some reason, you have to set up the applet
with a callback and have the script in the jmolApplet() notify JavaScript
that it is working or done. That's generally unnecessary, though.

Re: [Jmol-users] Jmol 11.6 release -- delayed

2008-10-05 Thread Robert Hanson
I have tentatively modified Jmol to make

  load "/xxx/xxx"

for the application and the SIGNED applet default to

  load "file:/xxx/xxx"

and for the UNSIGNED applet default to

  load "http://whatever.server/xxx/xxx";

when the applet is on a server or

  load "file:/xxx/xxx"

when it is local.

Rationale:

--The remote unsigned applet couldn't load file:/xxx anyway.
--No change then for unsigned applet behavior relative to 11.4
--Unlikely anyone has been using the signed applet to read files via root of
webserver

I'm not totally happy with this, because it allows two different behaviors
between the signed and unsigned applets, but I think it will let us proceed
with 11.6, since it represents no change in the unsigned applet, and almost
certainly the desired behavior with the signed applet and application.

Comments requested.
