Summary: initial zoom setting

Initial Comment:
I am starting to work with some unusual sizes of applets such as 
800 x 300. This gives a very cinematic dimension which looks quite 
spectacular, and is useful for animations of long skinny structures 
such as peptides, particularly on a page with multiple applets.

The initial zoom setting is based on the smaller of the two 
dimensions,so the default zoom appears tiny, and an initial zoom 
of 5000, the maximum, is reqiured to fit the structure of window. It 
would be great if there were a way to override/adjust the initial 
zoom scale.

Well, I was thinking that either one would work. I didn't want to assume 
that all authors would use rectangular applets the way that I am now, but 
for my purposes, altering the default to scale to the larger of the two 
dimensions would answer very well. For authors that don't have this type 
of use in mind, and don't issue rotational commands that position the 
molecule to take advantage of the larger dimension, I suppose it might 
seem strange. So if altering the default is too pervasive then some sort 
of "set" command that would get Jmol to use the larger dimension would 
be fine.

OK ... so how would you want to change things? 

Are you proposing that the default scaling be based upon the
larger of the two dimensions instead of the smaller? 

Do you want a new argument to zoom?

Ummm... for clarity: 200 = 800/300 * 100% :)

You can use the zoom command for that. See  
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/docs/  
 
For the window ratio given above it should be: 
 
  zoom 267 
 
(where 267 = 800/300)
