in RasMol
 center [7000, 0,0]
 show center
would output:
centre [7000, 0, 0]

I would like to be able to determine the current
center, e.g. the  MessageCallBack of a
 center [7000, 5.0, 0]
may output
 moving centre [0.0,0.0,0.0] --> [28.0, 5.0, 0.0]
Regards, Jan

I hate this prehistoric string "2.6b2"

center information in RasMol2.7.2 was very useful, e.g. if
you save single chains from a complex and want to rearrange
them afterwards by loading them as different molecules in
RasMol2.7.2 (I know, there may be no molecules in 2.6b2 but
I think Jmol shouldn't close its eyes from users desire to
manipulate molecules relative to each others in future Jmol
versions)

There is no useful absolute center of the world. But
everyone was fine with any center, as long as the path to
the current center could be traced, e.g. MessageCallBack of
reset may give the difference to the "absolute" center after
load.

This does not exist in RasMol 2.6b2

in OpenRasMol, the doc says that the center values that are
shown with 'show center' and set with 'center [x, y, z]' are
relative to the 'center of gravity' (sic). So every molecule
starts off at 0,0,0

I believe that this was a mistake. These values should have
been absolute. Therefore, I cannot bring myself to implement
it.
