[Jmol-users] jmolScriptWait vs zoomTo

2015-12-12 Thread Eric Martz
Consider the following commands: zoomto *1.3; select protein; color yellow; In javascript, when these commands are in the string "spt", jmolScript(spt) produces a smooth zoom followed by protein turning yellow. However, jmolScriptWait(spt) produces a zoom in one large step (snap zoom) and the

[Jmol-users] Fwd: Chrome: rotation unusable in JSmol

2015-12-10 Thread Eric Martz
In April 2014, Chrome gave the best performance of JSmol: smoothest rotation and few if any long (~ one minute) pauses during loading of some modest PDB files (pauses seen in Firefox). I configured FirstGlance in Jmol, when using JSmol, to recommend Chrome over Firefox. Safari was good.

[Jmol-users] Bug or feature? (anomalous _P)

2015-12-05 Thread Eric Martz
Dear Bob, While preparing a morph from 5cl3 to 5cle, I re-ordered the hetero atoms in 5cle so as to be in the same order as the homologous atoms in 5cl3. This separated [3DR]6:B.P from the other 3DR atoms. The result is that this phosphorus, while it remains hetero, is deemed by Jmol to be

Re: [Jmol-users] Zoom calculation

2015-12-03 Thread Eric Martz
Initial zoom depends, if your Jmol is rectangular, on set zoomlarge and set zoomheight. Just in case you didn't remember those. With zoomlarge true I often set zoom to 110% to pretty much fill Jmol to the edges. -Eric On 12/3/15 7:05 AM, si...@publcif.co.uk wrote: > Dear all > > If I do "rotate

Thanks for banging me over the head, Bob -- I needed it! Indeed I never grasped that animationFPS determines the delay between frames in a multi-GIF from the capture command. I kept mis-reading it as spinFPS. So I've been frustrated for more than a year due to my own denseness. Now I can

Yes, I can adjust the frame rate with spinfps. But the GIF file that is written unconditionally has a constant 0.1 sec delay between frames. Here are some results: # rotating 360 degrees in 2 sec gives only 60 frames # with default spinfps 30 (frames per second). # 4 sec gives 120 frames with
