we'd also like to use it to show trajectories but we ran into 2
problems:

get an JavaOutOfMemory problem when we try to charge e.g. 100 frames of
2000 atoms each. I didn't get too far into the code but is there a
MaxAtoms or MaxFrames

There are no limits on number of atoms or number of frames.

The Java virtual machine is running out of heap memory space.

By default, the Java virtual machine will only allocate 128Mb of ram for
heap space.

I recently changed the shell & bat files for the Jmol application so that
they allocate 512M using a command line argument

 java -Xmx512M -jar JmolApplet.jar


I regularly load and check the full rhinovirus with 397K atoms. It is only
one frame, not a series of frames like you have. But there should be no
difference.


> second: our traj become unpleasantly heavy (>10MB) and the user sits in
front of a black screen until the very last frame is loaded so i would
like to get an estimation of how dificult it would be to get jmol to
begin the visualisation of the first frames while still loading later
ones. and where in the code one would have to start looking to make
relevant changed.

This is impossible with the current Jmol architecture ... sorry.

> third: we have developed a file format using eigenvectors and their
projections which would allow to construct the entire trajectory quickly
and at low resolution  from just a few eigenvecs and then iteratively
increase resolution by incorporating more eigenvecs while the protein is
already on the screen. we're about to write a reader for that format but
again it would be nice to get the visualisation while the coords are
beeing refined.

Q: What is a 'trajectory'?
