Also, is it only me, or does it take a LONG time for a page containing several control buttons to load? I'm sensing huge memory grabs--50 seconds of 100% cpu activity as the page loads. I don't think this is reasonable. I would advocate for simple links and the use of hidden frames and "immediate" buttons for documentation purposes.

I have some questions:

hover:

My testing indicates that "hover off" works from post-load
javascript-based scripting (buttons, command line) but not from param
name=script value="hover off"



Hmmm ... don't know.

There are problems with initialization. With many properties, setting the
values only works *after* a molecule is loaded. That may be what is going
on in this case.



Q: Something out of sync here?



could be.



dots:

Q: What are dots? And why would there by concave, convex, and saddle dots?



Dots represent the vanderwaals or the solvent accessible surface.

A vanderwaals surface is self-explanatory.

A solvent accessible surface is the surface that would be accessible by a
sphere of a given size. The default size is 1.2 A, the size of the oxygen
atom in HOH.

Convex surface is the vdw surface that is completely accessible.

Saddle surface is the saddle shape that is created when one sphere rolls
around two other spheres that are close together.

A concave surface is the cavity where a sphere would sit when it was in
contact with three other spheres.

It is really pretty cool. May get more use when we fill in the surface an
color it according to charge.



set color:

Q: What is prueba (en Jmol, por favor)?



'prueba' means test. It is just the shell of a shape that I have used for testing from time-to-time.



frank:

I would have thought frank would be
viewer.setShowMultipleBonds(getSetBoolean());

Q: Some reason it's
viewer.setShapeSize(JmolConstants.SHAPE_FRANK,getSetAxesTypeMad());



Currently the mechanism for activating/turning on a shape is to give it a non-zero size. I am not particularly happy with this, but I have been unable to come up with anything better. This is related to the initialization problem with shapes.



? (Why would you allow a dotted frank?)



Don't know ... probably a bug caused by copying code when the Frank shape was created.



echo:

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 :-)
