I am looking for more information on "multi-frame" files. Are they only used for animations & vibrations?
Do *all* the frames *always* contain the same number of atoms in the same order? If so, is the *only* difference between frames the atom position? If not, what other situations are multi-frame files used for?

If I apply such a command, eg through a button, that is what happens. A requirement for frames is that they all contain the same atoms (in the same order I guess), and display properties are applied to all frames. > Is there a way to select a specific frame so that you can apply > scripting commands to a specific frame? > No, not that I know of. Maybe there is JavaScript construction possible, that monitors the frame number that Chime returns (my second question) and by an IF statement sends a command to one or more frames in particular, and a restoring command to the remaining frames. But I have never needed it. > But at this point I need basic assistance on what type of > functionality is needed for multi-frame animations. > What I use is the following: next to the Chime animation I change the text in a text area. Chime returns the frame value, which I can include in a Javascript to change the text accordingly. There are a number of built-in functions in Chime of this type: AnimFrameCallback, PickCallback (returning the picked atom number and label), that are essential to our implementation of Chime, and that we therefore would like to see in JMol. But I realize that many people have many wishes....... Greetings, Hens -- Dr. J.H. (Hens) Borkent, CMBI, University of Nijmegen P.O.
