Looking at the surface you may have to switch on the GL lights to get a better picture. If you have a pythonic version you can use the following to switch on/off the lights:
GL_light_on() GL_light_off() in guile/scheme: on: (set-do-lighting 1) (do-GL-lighting-state) off: (set-do-lighting 0) (do-GL-lighting-state) We may want to put these into the extensions function to show the surface... Currently no idea about the fat bonds from the ball-n-sticks. I shall have a look.
