Yes, the bounding box is in molecular coordinates. So except for the
ghosting -- which I actually do think is done best by displaying two
surfaces -- that's no problem with the applet, because you can just deliver
it any way you want to. I suggest doing them in two different frames, but
you wouldn't have to do that.
So the isosurface slab plane.... does precisely what you are looking for.
Both "slab" and "depth" are possible.
Also, you might want to play around with zshading. That can produce a very
nice effect.

However, the problem then is that you really don't have full control over
the two colors. Having two surfaces should display just as fast -- actually,
faster, because you don't have to switch colors in between passes. If we did
the ghost thing, we would have to run through all the colixes and reset them
on the fly. Could be done.... but not trivially. Also, this will not
reproduce in PovRAY, I think. (Have to think about that; maybe it will.)
Anyway, sounds great.
