Actually, the joke is on me! Yes, you can do this in Jmol: draw width 2.0 {0 0 0} {0 0 1} mesh nofill draws an open cylinder 2 angstroms in diameter from (0,0,0) to (0,0,1) BUT there is a bug, which I will fix, such that if the two end points are very close together you get a very strange

Many thanks, Bob, for implementing this feature. I will download the new Jmol version and play with, as soon as possible :-) All the best, Max Bob Hanson wrote: version=11.5.25_dev # new feature draw circle: # # A circle is a 2D object that behaves like a halo, always appearing circular #

If we did this it would be based on a center and a normal -- a line perpendicular to the circle. It should be possible to do this. The command will be: draw circle {} perp {} {} something like that. Bob Latévi Max LAWSON DAKU wrote: Bob Hanson wrote: Latévi Max LAWSON DAKU

Many thanks, Bob, for your answers. I am especially interested in drawing a ring. But I think that, ideally, both possibilities should be made available. (We can readily draw the edges of polyhedra. In a equivalent manner, this would also allow one to draw the ring that delimits a filled-in
