I've completed and tested to my ability several important additions to Jmol isosurfaces. See the above link or http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/test/proto/isosurface.htm I believe this blows open a whole new use of Jmol that has been difficult because of the mamouth size of CUBE files. Namely: - JVXL (Jmol Voxel File) format, with precision color compression - typical 400-600:1 data compressions over CUBE files (3 Mb --> 6 Kb) - multiple-isosurface JVXL files - "show isosurface" to create JVXL file data and display it in the console or to a callback - full CUBE/JVXL interchangeable isosurface coloring - cleanly contoured "marching square algorithm" planes through CUBE file data - variable number of contours, and the ability to display just one contour - contours as solid/translucent planes or as dots - test flag and "debug" options for detailed analysis or just checking to see what it is doing - extensive tutorial at http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/test/proto/isosurface.htm I certainly learned a lot doing this. What a great algorithm! Prototype only (sorry!) Jar files are in http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/test/proto/ Now if Wavefunction would JUST let us use their isosurface data...... :) (please?)
