Ok, I'll think about how to get to triangles from a set of vertices...

Have been thinking about this... coloring the faces is much easier... I guess coloring points would be preferred, but this would require splitting of the triangular plane into three new diamands, one for each point of the traingle... I'll think about this... > Q: How would one want to specify the mapping between colors and > points/faces? Each vertex would have an associated value, e.g. the partial charge of the nearest atom... the number of converted to a color just like a partial charge is converted to red-white-blue currently in Jmol (I think :)... the actual color scheme has to be setable... as there are many coloring schemes...
