Hello,

Is there a (simple) way to draw a circle using Jmol ? I guess there is one but cannot find it (googling or
searching the mails I received don't help).


Thanks in advance for telling me how to proceed.

All the best,
Max

no, there is not.




Many thanks, Bob, for your answer.

Could you, please, consider enabling the drawing an arc of a circle or a circle,
by issuing a command like

       1) circle [object_id] \
             CENTER <{x y z} || (atom_expr)> \
             PLANE   <a_plane_id || (atom_expr)> \
             RADIUS  <the_radius> \
             [ANGLE <default=360>] \
             COLOR <color> \
             [FILLED || NOFILLED]

or

      2) circle [object_id] \
             CENTER <{x y z} || (atom_expr)> \
             NORMAL   <{u v w}> \
             RADIUS  <the_radius> \
             [ANGLE <default=360>] \
             COLOR <color> \
             [FILLED || NOFILLED]

In the first case, one gives the plane in which the circle must be drawn;
in the second case, one rather gives the normal to this plane.

I don't know how demanding the implementation of this feature will
be ... but I am quite sure this may be useful for representing and/or
following in schemes structural data, such as angles or distances, as
in the case I am interested in.

Thanks in advance for considering my request.

Regards,
Max
