Web page developers using the Jmol applet:
Well, I'm sitting here wondering if the future of the Jmol applet is
written on the wall, and it will soon become a historical artifact. As
platforms shut out the Java plug-in, that certainly seems to be the case.
If nothing else, we are instantly back in
Dear Bob,
Thanks for the comprehensive summary on the state of Jmol applet and
JSmol.
First of all, a huge thanks for the tremendous effort you have put in such a
short time and the extraordinary product you have achieved to make. We all
owe you much.
A few notes of my own to share with users
Ah -- that reminds me. The one part of Jmol that has not been implemented
in JSmol is language translation. I'm pretty sure that is going to be
impossible without some serious thought. That system creates specialized
Java "class" files, bypassing the usual Java code stage. We might be able
to do it

No, seriously. I'm using Firefox and the JS libraries do not finish loading
from
local files. I gave up trying to understand
Thanks for the analysis Bob, I need to add in my thoughts.
First, as far as open source goes, I don't really believe there is any sense of
some "competition". Open source provides tools to the community, each is unique
and will be used in unique ways by the community. Some will even use multiple
Bob,
Thanks for all of your hard work on JSmol. What's happened in just a few months
is nothing less than amazing.
I've had the model kit bug ever since I found that I could make atoms in Chime
change color. Your Jmol efforts provided an opportunity to create a real
virtual model kit, and I'm

Hi Bob,
I get it, you are biased towards JSmol as I am biased towards the ChemDoodle
Web Components. Certainly you are an authority on Jmol, but when it comes to
the ChemDoodle Web Components and to WebGL your knowledge is lacking at best.
I'm not interested in starting a flame war here, I only
Where we cross in the night, Kevin, is in what we imagine people wanting to
do with "scripting" I think. While people could tap into the core of JSmol
and learn how to manipulate the model directly, writing something that,
say, allowed the selection of atoms and then centered the display on them,

Bob,
To answer your questions:
This is really an argument of semantics, with the ChemDoodle Web Components, we
would do something like the following.
var selected = myCanvas.select(10, 20);
myCanvas.center(selected);
myCanvas.repaint();
Instead of using Jmol script and the Jmol compiler, it wo
