[Jmol-developers] Re: [Jmol-developers]animation

[Bob Hanson]

Animation in jmol runs far better than in chime, but I must say that it is 
DIFFERENT. Following the animframecallbacks on a 7-frame file

http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/test/t.htm
jmol: 012345654321012345654321...
(pretty reasonable, huh?)
chime: 123456654321001234566543210...
EXCEPT, if you look at the actual sequence in the FILE, then this is
chime: 0234566543201102345665432...
That is, chime starts with the first frame, skips the second, then on the return 
does them ...third,first,second,second,first,third...

Go figure. Needless to say, here is a case where I will have to rewrite my files 
for jmol. (IE write a little VB ditty that creates a jmol alternative.)

By the way, reloading this file CONSISTENTLY crashes my Netscape. Why, do you 
suppose?

Nothing intentional. I have not seen this behavior.
Some of the multi-frame .xyz files that come in the Jmol samples seem to
be of poor quality.
Step through frame by frame and see what it looks like.
frame 1
frame next
frame next
frame next
frame prev
