[Jmol-users] export to vrml

2012-09-07 Thread Jiri Vohradsky
Hello, Does anybody know how to export to vrml? Several times in Jmol wiki it is stated that it is possible to export to vrml both from menu and script. I spent lot of time searching documentation and web to find out how, but I haven't succeeded. The export menu doesn't give any option to expor

[Jmol-users] Draw polyhedra without central atom

2012-09-07 Thread Nikolay Bogdanov
I'm trying to make a figure showing the coordination of metal ions in crystal - they form network of tetrahedra. I can do this with bonds, but the figure looks confusing. It would be much more clear with opaque tetrahedrons. As I understand Jmol builds polyhedra around some central atoms, which

Thanks to those who reported their findings. From those results I noticed that (for reasons I don't know) my brand new Snow Leopard was running Safari 5.0.5, while those of you reporting that Jmol works in Snow Leopard Safari had Safari 5.1.7. Before I got around to installing Safari 5.1.7 by h

Nikolay, maybe you can add a dummy atom at the center, produce the tetrahedron and then hide the atom. Not very clean, but probably effective I cannot advise however about generating the tetrahedron around the fake atom -

The polyhedron needs a central atom. But you can add that yourself. The command appears to be undocumented -- assign {attachmentAtom} "Symbol" {x y z} For example: assign atom {atomno=14} "Cl" {2 3 4} That position {2 3 4} could also be an average position of a number of atoms: assign atom {at

OK, here's how it works. This is probably not documented, but it is the way the state works, so it is fine to use it. All polyhedra need a reference atom, but that atom can be any atom, including one of the face atoms. It doesn't have to be a "central" atom. The key is the (undocumented) TO option
