Summary: vector scale

Initial Comment:
I didn't hear back about vector scale. It's important
to be able to designate the scale length of vectors; we
have a case right now we want to display, but the
vectors are way too small to see, even though the
vibrations themselves are fine.

But that is what I did ... or at least I *think* that is
what I did. 

vector scale {scale} and vibration scale {scale} are now
completely decoupled. 

It was filed under more than one bug report

My point was that 

vector scale 3

sets the scale of both the vector AND the vibration
amplitude. IMHO these need to be decoupled. Perhaps

vector scale 3

  sets the vibration vector length

vibration scale 3

  sets the vibration magnitude

Mostly, the problem is that to see decent-sized vectors, the
vibration amplitude is unrealistically large. The problem
can be seen at

http://www.stolaf.edu/depts/chemistry/mo/struc/vibrate.htm

where we can't show both at the same time. What I want is to
be able to set larger vectors and smaller vibrations.

vector scale 2

will double the length of the vector.

vector scale .5

will cut it in half

Note that the scale of the vector display is tied to the
amplitude of the 'vibration on'. At the zenith of the sin
curve the center of the atom is at the point where the tip
of the vector was when at rest.
