Saravanan,

  I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I have used a plug-in
for PowerPoint called LiveWeb that allows you to embed html web pages in a
Powerpoint presentation. See:

 http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm.

Or you can do your presentation entirely in html like a presentation I did for
the American crystallographic Association meeting in 2009. See:

[Jmol-users] van der Waals radii in Jmol

2008-02-29 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
I remember a discussion a couple years ago about the van der Waal's radii used
in Jmol. There was a feeling that the values in Jmol are somewhat
"over-estimated". Is there a way that a user can input his own radii? (other
than using the explcit "spacefill 1.70" every time he wants to draw a van der
Waals carbon atom). Or, alternatively, can the values in JmolConstants.jave be
changed to those in, e.g., A. Bondi, J. Phys. Chem, vol.68, p.441 (1964) -
which, I think, are widely accepted.

[Jmol-users] Unit Cell Packing Diagrams

Bob,
 Jmol version 11.1.41 has repaired my problems with atoms at 
special positions. It took a little playing around with "hide" and 
"display" to get all the bonds drawn corectly, but (so far) all of my cells 
with special positions work correctly! See, e.g.,

Re: [Jmol-users] Drawing Bonds Between Different symops in Unit Cell

2007-05-15 Thread Patrick J. Carroll


Bob,
 I've been playing with your code suggestions that involve using 
the "translateselected" command. The problem I'm having is that it seems 
there can't be more than one occurrence of a symmetry operation but with 
different translations. E.g., it seems to be impossible to have both a 
-x,-y,-z translated 0,0,0 AND a -x,-y,-z translated 1,1,1. Once I have 
displayed -x,-y,-z 1,1,1, if I select -x,-y,-z 0,0,0 the atoms that have 
already been translated are selected and if I translate them, the molecule 
at -x,-y,-z 1,1,1 is gone.

 So I went back to playing with "load 9129.cif {444 666 0}". If I 
load first with this command and then select -x, -y, -z 0,0,0 the correct 
fragment is chosen, except for the Ni atom which is chosen in the x,y,z 
0,0,0 fragment (this is the original problem I was having). See

 http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/gam/9129d.html

 If I load first with "load 9129.cif {444 555 0}", and select 
-x,-y,-z 0,0,0 then the correct fragment is chosen, including the Ni! See

 http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/gam/9129c.html

 Can this be "fixed"? Because it looks like the only way to have 
multiple occurences of the same symop is to pre-load all possible symops 
{444 666 0} and then select. AND again, this all seems to work fine for all 
those cases in which no atoms sit directly on a symmetry element.

Re: [Jmol-users] Drawing Bonds Between Different symops in Unit Cell

2007-05-14 Thread Patrick J. Carroll


Bob,
 I'm trying to work through your suggestions about using "display", 
but meanwhile, I've noticed some other strange behavior. On that same page,

  http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/gam/9129b.html

when I try to add a molecule by using symmetry operation no. 3 (center of 
symmetry), when I try to select symop = 3555, the green Ni atom in symop = 
1555 is instead selected. This is the atom that lies on the symmetry 
element (at .5, .5,.5). I have seen this behavior in other cells whenever 
an atom lies directly on a symmetry operation and I select a symop that 
should be the symmetry-related molecule, the atoms in the central molecule 
(1555) that lie directly on the symmetry element are selected, instead. 
See, for example

  http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/lgs/3160b.html

In this case, several of the atoms in 1555 lie on a mirror plane at y=.25. 
When I try to select symop = 4555, these atoms in 1555 that lie on the 
mirror plane are selected instead.

[Jmol-users] Javascript help with sysop!

2006-10-24 Thread Patrick J. Carroll


 I am trying to construct a webpage that will allow the user to 
build up a unit cell packing diagram by a variety of options and I need 
some (more) javascript help. I've written a script using radio buttons 
(using a tip from T. Driscoll) and menus to choose the symop, but when I 
try to use this symop in, e.g., a jmolButton, it always uses the default 
symop that was active when the page first loaded! How do I get a "current" 
symop chosen by a javascript script into a jmolButton?
 To see what I've done so far, take a look at:

 http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/cells/3159SG.html

Actually, the script I'm dealing with is in 3159SG_menu.html (the webpage 
is a frame).

Bob,
 Your new 10.9.79 is great! It has everything needed to allow the 
user to build a unit cell using whatever strategy he desires. Now I just 
need to learn enough Javascript to get it done. First humble attempt:

 http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/cells/3159SG.html

You'll notice that it isn't very elegant - it needs to be general to handle 
any number of symop's and those translation radio buttons, right now, only 
work on symop no. 1 (told you I need to learn more Javascript); but as far 
as the Jmol Java code, it's all there!

Bob,
 Just downloaded Jmol 10.9.79 with the new load "" {ijk i'j'k' 
doNormalize} command - VERY NICE! But now the selection of individual 
symops has changed: select 1000 used to select only symop #1 (x.y,z); now 
it selects eight different symops #1, all those translated by +1 along a OR 
b OR c!
 And how do I select symops along negative directions, e.g., 
-1+x,y,z (which is in unit cell 455)?

Re: [Jmol-users] Selecting molecules in unit cell -Jmol 11

2006-10-05 Thread Patrick J. carroll

Bob,
That all looks very exciting! Are these symop=nijk 
capabilities in Jmol 10.9.70?


Another question: Does an instruction "select symop=2000" 
really put the atom at the base location for symmetry operation 2? 
What I'm getting at is: if symop 2 is -X, 1/2+Y, 1/2-Z, the 
coordinates produced will be in a neighboring unit cell (along -a if 
the original X is positive). I noticed that when I tried selecting 
molecule no. 2 which should be in that neighboring cell, Jmol moved 
it so that all the co-ordinates were positive. I would prefer that 
symop 2000 be the "real" base location even if one (or more) of the 
co-ordinates are negative! Do I make myself clear?


Now, of course, I need to carve out some time to play with 
this - that's always a problem! But I think you've hit a home run 
here!

2006-10-03 Thread Patrick J. Carroll


Bob,
 This problem of selecting molecules in the unit cell is a general 
problem - I would like the user to be able to interactively build up the 
packing diagram (of any compound) based on, e.g., hydrogen bonding like I 
did using a big PDB file in :

 http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/cells/99027cellFrame.html

This can be done, as above, with a PDB file that includes all of the 
molecules that you will eventually want to display. But, of course, this 
requires that you figure out everything beforehand, write the PDB file and 
then write a script to (kind of) re-trace the process. I would like it to 
be more interactive.

 But you have given me some ideas to play with -- thanks.

[Jmol-users] Selecting molecules in unit cell -Jmol 11

2006-10-03 Thread Patrick J. Carroll


Bob,
 The difficulty I have in selecting molecules in the unit cell is 
that I would like to be able to, e.g., select the molecule produced by the 
symmetry operation X, 1/2-Y, 1/2+Z and THEN select the one produced by 1+X, 
1/2-Y, 1/2+Z, which is the same symmetry operation, just translated +1 in 
a. But when I select symop=2, all of the symop=2 molecules (1+X, 1/2-Y, 
1/2+Z, X, 3/2-Y, 1/2+Z, X, 1/2-Y, 3/2+Z, etc) are selected. I, maybe, could 
select by molecule no., if I knew the relationships between the molecule 
nos. and the sym op's (and I am ignoring, for now, the problem of the Jmol 
"molecule" not being the same as the "crystallographic molecule", usually 
called, BTW, the "asymmetric unit").

[Jmol-users] Use of Jmol 10.2 to display unit cells

2006-08-26 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
I thought those of you who have been working on the unit cell capabilities 
of Jmol (and those I've bothered in the past for such capabilities!) might 
be interested to see some of the unit cell pages I've written. Take a look at:

http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/cells

The last example is the most ambitious.

These pages use Jmol 10.2. Will I need to make any changes in order to use 
version 11.0? The major advantage is the ability to label the unit cell axes!

Keep up the great work!

[Jmol-users] Jmol sandbox - WOW!

2006-05-15 Thread Patrick J. Carroll



Back on May 5, Bob Hanson demonstrated a capability he called a "Jmol 
sandbox". I finally had a chance to try it - it is fairly impressive! Bob, 
I cut and pasted one of my SHELXL .res files into your webpage and there it 
was! Complete with unit cell and symmetry related positions!


I have several questions about the symmetry positions - have you programmed 
them into the Jmol applet via java or are they in the scripting (forgive my 
ignorance - I'm not a programmer!)



Have you started to do anything with letting the user build up the cell one 
sym posn at a time - all the examples you seem to have do ALL the sym 
posn's at a time.



At what point can users get what you've done and build their own "Jmol 
sandboxes" (whether scripting or java applet)?

distance (maybe 20-25% of the sum of the covalent radii). For the most 
part, this enables the correct drawing of the great majority of bonds (and 
this also takes into account differences in covalent radii due to charge).

But it appears that Jmol does not use the covalent radii to decide bonding 
distances - the covalent radii stored in Jmolconstants.java are reasonable 
(a no. of them are even overestimated). For example, I have a Europium 
compound with Eu-O bond distances of 2.2 - 2.3 Angstroms; the covalent 
radii for Eu and O in Jmolconstants are 1.99 + 0.68 = 2.67 ! There must be 
something else going on!

[Jmol-users] No bonds drawn to metals from shelxl .res file

2005-03-10 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
When reading a shelxl .res file, Jmol 10.00 does not draw bonds to 
transition metals. Where are the covalent radii stored? I'd like to 
re-build Jmol with correct metal radii.

2004-04-07 Thread Patrick J. Carroll

From: "RichBall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

As long as the student is aware that the esds presented by this calculation
are, to a greater or lesser extent, an underestimation of the true esd for
that parameter I can see some value to this. (to more closely approximate the
true esd for the calculated quantity Jmol would need to add the error
contribution from the cell parameters; except for the most problematic
structures that additional step would make the estimate more reliable)
Do other image-rendering programs do these esd calculations? I've always just
used the straight distance (angle, torsion) calculation to get a list of
desired quantities and then did the "real" calculations elsewhere.
Rich
The only stand-alone rendering program I know of that calculates esd's is 
CrystMol (see www.crystmol.com). And, yes, cell constant errors should be 
considered (tho for a good quality crystal, those errors are less of a 
determining factor) AND with this capability, Jmol would allow a student to 
report parameters with esd's without having to have access to a structure 
determination package.

[Jmol-users] Reading CIF's in Jmol

2004-04-03 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
My interest in Jmol reading CIF's is not that it be able to parse the bond 
length and bond angle data present in the CIF, but rather that when a user 
measures bond lengths and other geometric parameters, that Jmol reports the 
parameter along with its estimated standard deviation which can be 
calculated by Jmol from the esd's of the x, y, z co-ordinates which are 
supplied in the CIF. This is most applicable when measuring a non-bonding 
distance, for example, the ones involved in hydrogen bonds and other forms 
of intermolecular interactions. This is also important in the referencing 
of torsion angles and dihedral angles. The situation now in our facility is 
that if a student has had an X-ray structure done and needs some of these 
"extra" geometric parameters for a publication or for inclusion with his 
thesis, he would need to download the CIF and then use a program on his 
desktop computer to calculate the parameters (and there are only a few 
available programs that will do these calculations with the esd's 
included). Or he has to ask me to do the calculation. It would be a very 
convenient utility to be able to do these calculations in a browser 
environment.

[Jmol-users] Scripting with Jmol 10

2004-03-31 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
Fellow Jmol'ers!
	I've finally gotten some time to learn how to do scripting with Jmol using 
JmolAppletControl - it is Way Cool!!!

	Look at this page that I've written for my crystallography course, 
demonstrating unit cell symmetry:

		http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/cells/cell457total.html

It also indicates the sort of unit cell building I would like to be able to 
do with Jmol.

	I've also got a page on "shape" in Chemistry that uses DNA as an example:

		http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/cells/tutorial

	And I have some scripting questions:

Is there documentation on JmolAppletControl? Are there other things you can 
do than the sort of button demonstrated on the Jmol website?

In Jmol 10, how do you designate the color of the unit cell edges, Or 
change their thicknesses in the script?

[Jmol-users] reading CIF's with Jmol 10 pre8

2004-03-29 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
Miguel,
	I like very much that Jmol 10pre8 can read CIF's. Here's a small section 
from a CIF that shows how bond distances are listed:

loop_
 _geom_bond_atom_site_label_1
 _geom_bond_atom_site_label_2
 _geom_bond_distance
 _geom_bond_site_symmetry_2
 _geom_bond_publ_flag
Ga1 O2 1.959(3) . ?
Ga1 O4 1.965(3) . ?
Ga1 O1 1.968(3) . ?
Ga1 O3 1.975(3) . ?
Ga1 O6 1.990(3) . ?
Ga1 O5 1.995(3) . ?
AND, now with this CIF capability, Jmol could be enhanced to include the 
calculation of the estimated standard deviations on bond distances, bond 
angles, torsion angles, etc. When a crystallographic paper references, 
e.g., a bond distance, it will list it like those bond distances in the CIF 
selection above. The Ga1 O2 bond distance is 1.959(3) Angstroms - the "(3)" 
means the estimated standard deviation (or standard error) in that 
individual bond distance is 0.003 Angstrom. These errors are calculated 
from the errors in the crystal coordinates, which are depicted in the same 
fashion, as nos. inside parentheses.

[Jmol-users] van der Waals radii in Jmol

2004-03-25 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
Miguel,
	I've noticed that Jmol draws space-filling models with what look like 
rather larger van der Waal's radii than you would expect. If you look at:

		http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/tutorial/basepair.html

and change all the atoms to 100% VDW, the H's are really totally buried in 
the atoms to which they are hydrogen bonded. If I use the same PDB file in 
rasmol, I get a more reasonable looking display. The VDW radii displayed in 
the "Atom Properties" item on the "edit" menu in the Jmol application up to 
version 9 are reasonable, but the display looks "wrong". BTW, that menu 
item is "gone" from Jmol 10? (it would be nice to be able to adjust Atom 
Properties).

[Jmol-users] Comments on Jmol 10 pre7

2004-03-23 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
Miguel,
Just downloaded Jmol 10 pre7:
(1) I'm getting the same "java.util.NoSuchElementException " error as 
Robert Grossman, But I notice that the frame_1.res file supplied in the 
samples folder of earlier full releases of Jmol works !! Files that used to 
work with Jmol 9 now do not.

(2) I tried the measurement by double clicking, but it only seems to give 
distances - if I double click on a 3rd atom, I get another distance. How do 
you get bond angles and torsion angles.

(3) My two cents on the Jmol colors: I like most of them, but carbon is too 
dark - when you have an organic molecule with a lot of C's, it's kind of 
overpowering. Can we have back the rasmol grey? (I do know I can set the 
carbon color with a script command, but I would like a lighter default.)

Egon,
	Just downloaded Jmol 9 - very nice! I can draw a nice unit cell using a 
SHELXL .res file with the Jmol application - cell angle problem is fixed.

	Have you had a chance yet to put a choice into the Jmol applet to draw 
"the original atoms only" and to increase the size of the "Bond Box" so 
that bonds are drawn to atoms that are on the other side of the unit cell edge?

	And, apparently, Jmol 9 does not have the unit cell drawing capability 
with PDB files?

[Jmol-users] How to fill unitcell and nomenclature

2004-02-20 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
Fellow Jmol'ers:
As an example of filling a unit cell, see:
		http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/cells/cell3148b.html

The researcher who had this structure done (it's a double carborane 
cage bonded to a niobium atom which has a chlorine attached, if 
anyone's interested) wanted to see if there were any interactions 
between CL's on neighboring molecules (sometimes these kind of 
molecules form dimers by forming a CL-CL bond). The model was built 
in a crystallographic program that constructs all the molecules with 
coordinates between x = -0.5 to +1.5, y = -0.1 to +1.1, z = -0.5 to 
+1.5 and then writes a PDB file. The limits on x, y and z can be 
adjusted interactively and, of course, the space group symmetry 
operations are used to build additional molecules starting with the 
asymmetric unit. The advantage of Jmol is that if I drew a hard copy 
paper representation of the packing diagram, the researcher may not 
"see" just what he's looking for, but by rotating the display in real 
time, it's easy for him. Also, certainly, the same thing could be 
done with many applications (RasMol, CrystMol, WebLabViewer), but 
then I need to get individual researchers trained in using whichever 
of those programs they have AND I have to deal with what kind of 
computer they have, etc. By just putting it on my webpage, I avoid 
all those problems.

	I also saw a question about nomenclature of the molecules in 
an extended unit cell drawing. The very popular graphics program 
ORTEP invented a nomenclature many years ago to do this. This 
nomenclature has three parts: XXXYYYZZ. The no. XXX is the number of 
the atom in the asymmetric unit, YYY is a unit cell designation - the 
"central" unit cell is 555; the unit cell translated one unit cell 
length in the negative x direction is 455; the unit cell translated 
two unit cell lengths in the positive y direction and one unit cell 
in the negative z direction is 574. Finally, the ZZ no. is the number 
of the symmetry related position in the space group. Thus, for 
example, atom no. 36 that was produced by the third symmetry 
operation and then moved into the above unit cell is 3657403.

	BTW, in constructing that packing diagram on my webpage, I'm 
unable to select boron atoms or niobium atoms using script commands 
in order to change their colors; I am able to select chlorines!

[Jmol-users] Re: crystal cell terminology

2004-02-18 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
Miguel,
	About your unit cell terminology, I prefer "unit cell" and 
"multi cell" ("supercell" means something else to a crystallographer).

	But I also wanted to address a bigger question - how to deal 
with space group symmetry in order to "fill up" the unit cell. I've 
seen some discussions about the 230 different space groups and how to 
incorporate this information into Jmol. If the input file is a SHELXL 
.res file, all the space group info is present in the "LATT" line and 
the "SYMM" lines. If LATT is 1, the cell is centrosymmetric (for 
every atom at x,y,z there is a symmetry related atom at -x,-y,-z); if 
LATT is -1, the cell is non-centrosymmetric and the space group does 
not have the -x,-y,-z symmetry operation. The SYMM lines list the 
other symmetry operations.
Thus, for the popular space group P2(1)/c, the LATT and SYMM lines are:

LATT 1
SYMM -X, .50+Y, .50-Z
	The combination of LATT and SYMM in this case, leads to four 
symmetry-related positions:

x,y,z
-x,-y,-z
-x, 1/2+y, 1/2-z
x, 1/2-y, 1/2+z
which is all the info needed to "populate" the cell. Of course, 
depending on the particular co-ordinates, these expressions can lead 
to molecules in the "next cell over" and it may be necessary to use, 
e.g., that third symmetry operation as 1-x, 1/2+y, 3/2-z to get the 
molecule into the central unit cell (it is always legal to add or 
subtract 1 from the crystal coordinates).
	So there is no need to "teach" Jmol about all those space groups!

[Jmol-users] hbonds and unit cells in Jmol 10

2004-01-28 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
As per Miguel's questions about my wanting to use hbonds to draw 
unit cells: I realized I could do a better job with normal bonds and script 
commands to draw the unit cell edges thin and I can also have the applet 
display come up immediately with non-default atom and bond sizes by using 
script commands like:

select all;
cpk on;
cpk 0.40;
wireframe on;
wireframe 0.15;
select oxygen;
cpk 0.1;
wireframe 0.1
Take a look at:

http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/cell457b.html

Of course, the better way to draw unit cells would be the 
capability to read shelxl .res files (which was introduced into Jmol with 
version 7). These files have all the necessary information. Unfortunately, 
Jmol 7 has a bug that reads the cell angles incorrectly (Jmol reports 
alpha, beta, gamma as beta, gamma, alpha). Jmol 8 has an additional bug in 
that it represents the cell angles in radians rather than degrees. So the 
Jmol 7 application will only display a correct unit cell for orthogonal 
cells (all cell angles 90 degrees). But the Jmol 7 applet does not have the 
capability of displaying "original atoms only" (as the application can) and 
so it will not draw any atoms that are outside the boundaries of the cell.
So for drawing unit cells right now, I don't need anything added 
to the hbond functionality, but it would be nice to fix the shelxl.res bugs.

[Jmol-users] H-bond capability in Jmo 10 is cool!

2004-01-27 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
The H-bond capability in Jmol 10 is very cool! For an applet example of a 
fairly intricate small molecule H-bond example, see

		http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/1162hb.html

The H-bond capability can even be used to fake a unit cell packing diagram. 
E.g, see

		http://macxray.chem.upenn.edu/cell457.html

Is there any way to vary the appearance of the dashed H-bonds, e.g., to 
make them solid lines or dotted lines?

Is it possible to preset some of the atom and bond size parameters so the 
applet display comes up with non-default values, immediately?

As part of the development of the full version 10, are some of the problems 
with reading shelxl .res files being worked on? E.g., the mis-reading of 
the unit cell angles. Version 7 reads the angles as gamma, alpha, beta 
rather than alpha, beta, gamma and version 8 displays the cell angles as 
radians rather than degrees.

[Jmol-users] Jmol 10 prerelease 5

2004-01-21 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
	I just downloaded Jmol 10 pre 5 and am using the applet on my 
webpage. The graphics are beautiful!! I especially like the atom 
labelling. There is, tho, one feature I don't understand - some of 
the bonds are drawn as "dashed" bonds. Is this intentional, perhaps 
having to do with the bond length? And you can't change the width of 
the dashed bonds.

[Jmol-users] Jmol reads ubit cell angles incorrectly

2004-01-05 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
When the capability to display the unit cell was added to Jmol by reading a 
Shelx type file, a bug was introduced - Jmol displays the cell angles 
incorrectly (and perhaps reads them in incorrectly?) The "crystal 
properties" item in the "extras" menu displays alpha as beta, beta as gamma 
and gamma as alpha. In addition, in v.8, the cell angles are displayed in 
radians, rather than degrees.

[Jmol-users] Bug in unit cell display in Jmol?

2003-10-02 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
	I think I've found a problem with the unit cell display in Jmol 7 when 
reading a SHELXL .res type file. I had not noticed it as long as I was 
displaying unit cells that had cell angles of 90 degrees, but I had a 
problem with a triclinic cell. The cell angles in the .res file are 
alpha=112, beta=103, gamma=92, BUT Jmol lists the angles as alpha=92, 
beta=112, gamma=103 and the molecules were not displayed correctly.

[Jmol-users] A Crystallographer's Wish List for the Jmol

2003-09-25 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
	I am using Jmol version 7, both the application and the applet, and have a 
short wishlist that would make Jmol very useful for X-ray crystallographers 
like me:

	As far as I can tell, the Jmol applet is the only applet in the known 
world that will display a unit cell on a webpage (by using a shelxl.res 
file as input). And it is beautiful!

	But, for showing unit cells of molecular compounds (rather than just ionic 
compounds), it is necessary that you be able to draw all the molecules that 
extend into neighboring cells and, apparently, this can't be done in the 
applet (though it can be done using the Jmol application by choosing 
"original atoms only" under "Crystal Properties" on the "Extras" menu - tho 
in the application, it would be nice if all the bonds outside the cell 
would also be drawn automatically instead of by adjusting the "Bond Box"). 
To see an example of what I'm trying to do, go to the following page on my 
website:

		macxray.chem.upenn.edu/sneddon.html

Here I display a cell using the chemsymphony applets (I had to build a PDB 
file that included "bonds" for the cell edges). I would like to use the 
Jmol applet to do this.

	My wish for Jmol would also include another type input file - the CIF. 
This is a "Crystallographic Information File" which is the most popular way 
of archiving X-ray crystallographic structures - most chemical journals 
require submission of the CIF with any publication that includes an X-ray 
structure. With the CIF as input, Jmol would have available to it the 
estimated errors in the atom coordinates, so when the Jmol application is 
used to measure a bond distance or angle, it could display the estimated 
error (which is very important in crystallographic publications) as a 
number like "1.542(3) A", where the "(3)" indicates the estimated error is 
.003 A.

	Finally, if the Jmol applet could also include the ability to measure 
distances and angles, that would be very useful. I include the PDB file and 
the CIF on my website for all users' structures. So if the Jmol applet had 
these facilities, a user could explore all the important geometrical 
features of his structures - bond distances, bond angles, hydrogen bonding, 
crystal packing diagrams, etc. And he could do this using just his web 
browser without acquiring any other software! AND there is very little 
software available for individual X-ray structure users to do these sorts 
of calculations even on there local machine without the use of the web!!

	I have noticed one "bug" in the Jmol application - I'm not able to change 
any of the "atom properties" available on the "Edit" menu. One of the 
things I would like to do is draw the hydrogen atoms smaller than they are 
done now. This could be done by adjusting the van der Waals radius in "atom 
properties".

Thank you and keep up the good work - Jmol is amazing!

Pat Carroll

[Jmol-users] Jmol 6.1 applet

2003-06-05 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
I just downloaded Jmol 6.1 applet and am impressed with the unit cell 
drawing ability when reading a shelx file!

Is there any way to pass some of the parameters to the applet that are 
available in the menus of the Jmol application. Specifically, can you tell 
the applet to draw the atoms that were originally in the .res file, rather 
than only the ones that occur inside the unit cell? This can be done in the 
application by selecting "original atoms only" in the "Crystal Properties" 
dialog of "Extras".

Are there plans to use space group symmetry in drawing the cell? I notice 
in the code for drawing the cell, only symmetry 1 is used.

Thanks,
Pat Carroll

[Jmol-users] Jmol applet 5 - read shelx97 file?

2003-02-04 Thread Patrick J. Carroll
Is it possible to extend the capabilities of the Jmol applet to read 
shelx97 files as the version 5 application can?
It looks like the Jmol-applet.jar has the ShelxReader.class in it!

How about the various measurement capabilities? And it would be nice if the 
measurements could take into account the uncertainties in the atomic 
co-ordinates (this info is available in the shelx file) so Jmol could 
calculate the uncertainties in the geometrical parameters. This would be 
very valuable to chrystallographers like myself especially if it were 
available in the Jmol applet and users of facilities like mine could do 
those calculations over the web!!


Thanks,
Pat Carroll
