well, that would be perfect, since visualization could start imediately. but no movie, the user can choose the visualisation himself. and scroll back- and forward. so how is it working now? you load a molecule into the jmol data structure (hash, array) and when it is completely loaded the visualisation procedure begins? coudn't it work in parallel, visualisation starts once the first frame is loaded and every now and then the information (frame number) is updated? > Q: Do you expect to have enough memory to retain > all the models in memory? vmd reads 10.000 x 2000 atoms without problem, i don't know in what type of data structure they store it but i suppose similar to jmol. but i don't know how efficient java uses memory... tim ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
