Category: Interface Improvements Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Assigned to: Bob Hanson (hansonr) Summary: Spin using mouse Initial Comment: I showed Jmol to a colleague in IT and he was very impressed: The one thing that disappointed him was that when using the mouse to rotate a molecule, you can't use the mouse to set the molecule spinning. I think he was expecting interaction like Google Earth... Would it be possible to use the rotation of the molecule (at the moment the mouse was unclicked) as a new set of spin parameters?

We could certainly set up a mode for this; probably not the default mode, though. Questions: How do you control it? Does the speed of mouse motion determine the spin rate then? How do you stop the rotation? Is the rotation internal to the molecule (around its axes) or based on the window? That is, if I were to further manipulate the model, would I see the model spinning around its same axis, but this axis is now pointing in a new direction? (I suppose since the Earth rotates "internally" this is what you had in mind.) Should be a piece of cake to set this up. Mind you, most chemists do NOT set molecules spinning. This would be "just for show", thus not the default.
