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.

fixed some time ago ... and this will be the default for the
future.

After having worked with the workaround (see previous post), 
I think that the better solution is to change the default scaling 
to be based opn the larger of the two dimensions of the applet, 
or this option should be made available for author specification. 
Thanks,
Frieda

I have found a way to work around the problem, but I am not sure it will 
be suitable in all cases.

In the present case, the pdb file contains a large protein and I am 
focussing in on a relatively short section of it. If I edit the file to remove 
the rest of the protein, the default range of the zoom is much more 
appropriate. That is, I can obtain a good display using an initial zoom in 
the 400 range.

However if I were interested in showing other sections of the protein 
later in the animation, this would not be a great solution. The applet 
would have to be reloaded with another truncated pdb file. I am not sure 
how often this is likely to arise.

Miguel, I am not sure that you got my last comment so I changed the 
"assignment" pull-down back to your name, hope this was OK.

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)
