Hi,
I see that there is an option coming on creating interactive 3D pdf
figures[1] with Jmol[2].
A question and a comment
When will this option be available?
In the post Robert Hanson compares this feature to POV-Ray, i.e. a
specialized feature for the experts. I would disagree with that.
I would therefore advocate making this option as easy as possible to use
within Jmol. In my view, interactive 3D pdf figures should really be the rule
rather than the exception in scientific publishing, and Jmol could lead the
way.
Publishers are likely to love interactive PDF, since it is
A brief plug for a workshop I'm running under the aegis of ICSTI
in Paris in February (http://www.icsti.org/programme_winter2010.php)
to discuss just this issue. The IUCr has been using Jmol for a while to
provide interactive figures in the HTML versions of our journal articles.
We're also
It's not clear to me if many publishers yet have a coherent strategy
regarding interactive figures.
I have had around five publishers accept the concept of Jmol-enhanced
interactive figures (the latest being Science). However, it has to be said that
the first publisher to do so (about 4 years
I do not believe that the publishers regard Jmol as supported, but
of course it has to be acknowledged that Jmol depends on underlying
Java, and its difficult to see how that might have a future
mapped in decades rather than years. I presume however that it would
not be difficult to
Everybody thanks for the advice. I've got it working. I did have to
use the vertical line syntax, which I believe was implemented for
inline data because of CR/LF problems sometime in the past. In the
process, I've also managed to store the state data in a hidden div
rather than a
