[Jmol-users] variable dots density?

2006-08-23 Thread David Marcey
One nice feature of Chime/RasMol was the ability to change the density of dots. This was very useful when zooming in to show, for example, interacting protein side chains. In Jmol, with the current dots option (fixed density), it is difficult to see the dots at high levels of zoom. Are

[Jmol-users] Bugs that HIDE DOTS inappropriately

2006-08-23 Thread Eric Martz
There appear to me to be bugs that hide dots inappropriately with restrict and dots off commands. These bugs are present in 10.2.0 and 10.x.46d. If those in the know agree that these are bugs, I'll submit this as a bug fix request. Jmol, to its credit and unlike Chime, can add dots to newly

Yes, I agree, David. I love the way Jmol automatically adjusts dot density with zoom -- Chime did not do this and it was a problem. But I agree that when the molecule is zoomed to small size (or with a very large molecule so the atoms must be small to fit the molecule in the view space), the
