bob, so if you have 1 model whose atoms you continually change with 1000 atoms you have i = 0 - 999? i may very well end up using this method instead! let me know if there's any debugging/coding i can help with. do you still consider these methods "highly experimental"? i'm still trying to make

Eric, yeah, that's it. Starting with 0 and NOT repeating for each model -- 10 models of benzene would have i=0,1,2,,i=119. Even if the data are coming from different files, that number still just starts at 0 and runs. We don't recommend people fiddling with that, but in this case, it's

Eric, I think there's something wrong with the data for the "home" position. If you first move the model around and THEN save, move some more, save, they all work, right? Bob eric capps wrote: bob, may be my environment but this isn't quite working for me. the restore delayed function do

I've gotten that message and am sorry for that confusion. No, "x" for "experimental". Angel reminded me that people use "x" as a generic. So now I'm adding a blurb at the top of all my messages relating to "10.x". [note: this message relates to the experimental prototype "Jmol 10.x" not the pub

what a challenge! Keeping the orientation after a file load is no problem. Jmol 10.x allows the following: jmolSaveOrientation() jmolScriptWait("load") jmolRestoreOrientation() So then the orientation resets to the original. You can see this in action at http://fusion.stolaf.edu/chemistr
