I am investigating the possibility of replacing my existing Java 
molecular orbital visualization program (which currently uses Java3D) 
with an application built around the JMolViewer component of 
JMol.  However, since I already have existing code to calculate the 
orbitals and several derived properties, as well as an existing file 
format, etc., I would like to use JMolViewer at relatively low 
level.  Specifically,

1)  Programmatically add atoms and bonds
2)  Programmatically add isosurfaces, including the possibility of 
mapping properties onto the isosurface

 From looking through the source code, it looks like #1 is possible 
view the Frame.addAtom()/addBond() subroutines.  However, I can't 
seem to find an equivalent method for adding isosurfaces (using a 
precalculated grid of data).

Does what I am proposing seem feasible?  The required methods don't 
seem to exist directly in the API, so I imagine that this would 
require a little work.  I would appreciate any guidance that you may 
be able to offer.

        Sincerely,
        JR Schmidt
