[Jmol-users] What's the status of Jmol and the IcedTea Plugin?

2012-03-23 Thread Jonathan Gutow
I found this thread in the archives http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=28755656 This suggests that there is a workaround for getting Jmol to work with the IcedTea plugin. I thought from reading it that IcedTea couldn't handle the segmented loading. However, when I force the

Jmol is now portable to the iPad. In principle, at least. The Android port shows that. But really, developing for the iPad is to develop something very different in behavior to what you have now, and I think there are different solutions, then, for that. You can't just take something like Jmol and

There is also a version of Cuemol for the iphone and iPad http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cuemol/id496236710?mt=8 It is a viewer for content developed on a workstation with an "authoring" version of the program. It still has a ways to go, but seems to have potential On Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 12:3

At the ACS meeting last fall, someone was showing a version of Spartan on the iPad. It was merely the builder and viewer. The idea, as I remember it, was to be able to submit computations to a server and retrieve and display the results. I do not know whether that is being pursued, and if so

Buzzwords... and politics. Who will be putting the cash for all those iPads? And how soon will they be obsolete? I wonder how many (text)books are available for the iPad platform. Regarding the reprogramming of Jmol, the task is not trivial (as Miguel and Bob will know), and who would do it?
