Re: [Jmol-developers] hover--scripting questions

Tim, in the mean time, I've been collecting data in spreadsheet form. I half expect you to say I just wasted my weekend. That's OK as long as this is at least somewhat helpful. If nothing else, the spreadsheet should load directly into the database. But think about what we really NEED in the database (relative to scripting) and what could in fact just be delivered this way using .js files. For example, all the examples and such could be in the php database, but searching could be done very simply using JavaScript. The whole thing is pretty lean. I thought maybe Miguel could use this to verify that his code is doing what he thinks it is. (Parts of the parsing for echo seem odd to me....) I might have a mistake here or there, but I think it's pretty close.

Too bad we can't make this so the code itself delivers its own documentation. If each script function had a bit of Javascript in comments.... That would be interesting.

Q: What's an echo?


The RasMol scripting language supports a command called 'echo'. In
RasMol, the echo text goes to the console.

I extended this by creating three areas where text could be echoed
... top, middle, and bottom. Within each of these areas one can set
the text to go to the left, center, or right. There is full font
control, including size and face. Color can also be controlled
individually.

I think it is quite powerful for educational purposes ... it just
needs to be documented :-)





*almost* there!  just finishing the input interface for adding new or
editing existing commands.  Then I have to write the php that actually
talks to the db, which should be straightforward.  I should have a bare
bones UI posted in the next few days...


regards,
