Hi,
I see that you have worked on the povray output.
I made myself some modifications to Jmol code to work on the povray output
The modifications I have made :
Concerning the output of only the visible items, you can now choose to
output only the currently displayed model (rendered as 1 frame) or all the
models (rendered as n frames, n being the number of models)
Concerning the output of bonds :
- output of hydrogen bonds is added
- output of aromatic bonds is added but the position of the full cylinder
and the dashed cylinder are not always the same when seen in Jmol. I don't
know if it is a problem
- output of s-bonds is not added because I didn't find a sample with one of
them to look at how it was displayed
- in the SticksRenderer, I saw that there was also a case for
BOND_STEREO_FAR and BOND_STEREO_NEAR (rendered as triangle ?), but I didn't
find a sample to to look at them.
Concerning the output of secondary structure, I am not familiar with how
data is organized in Jmol so I had problems to find what was the data to
output. I made a test with 'polymer' : it seems that I get the points used
to draw the 'trace'.
I couldn't find a simple way to render correctly the trace in povray. I
tried the sphere_sweep object but it is limited to the following splines :
- linear_spline : draws straight lines between each point
- b_spline or cubic_splice : draw curves but the curves do not pass any more
through the points
Every modifications I made are committed to CVS. To see the current result
of the output of 'polymer', you must edit the jmol.pov file manually by
setting the showPolymers variable to true before rendering.

It's the number of points defining the sphere_sweep

Something like the following ?
#macro point_XX() <x, y, z>
#end
...
sphere { point_XX(), RADIUS }
