show pdbheader

Q: How hard would it be to add "show file"?

(Which would dump the input data to the message callback queue.)


You want to dump the whole file?


Yes, unless there is another way to get it. I know you are thinking in terms of huge PDB files, but there are many smaller files that people would be using. In nec, there could be a maximum number of bytes, say 30K.




Speaking of which, I swear I remember seeing an "edit" menu item.... How
is a user able to view (and clip) the file data otherwise?


Not sure what you are referring to.


Must have been something else. As a plug-in, Chime can write files to disk. As an applet, I understand that Jmol can't, but still there is much use for seeing the data and often saving it to disk. Right now I don't see how this is possible in Jmol, but I would imagine since the rasmol header is "showable" that whole files would be also. If there is no other way, then a simple addition of "show file" would be useful.




Q: Should I remove the "show animation" documentation? Should it be
modified in Eval.java?

The show() function has a case Token.animation, so I assume that means you can say

show animation

but I don't see what that does/would do. My question simply relates to how you see it fitting into documentation. My thought was that I should just ignore it. I see now that it is just a placeholder. OK. (It's not like I wanted it...)


Bob



I don't understand what you are asking.

If 'show animation' exists in Chime then it should exist in Jmol.

If it is broken (or not implemented) in Jmol then you should file a bug
report to the Jmol bug database.


Q: What use is "show model"?


I have no idea. It probably existed in RasMol and/or Chime, so I put it
there as a placeholder.

Today, there is no other way to know how many models there are in a file.
