Thanks, René
It seems you are right: axisangle uses the viewport coordinates, not
the molecular coordinates. I understood the opposite from the
documentation.
Is that right, Bob?
I find this disconcerting; I thought the {x y z} syntax was molecular
coordinates.
Maybe this is because rotate AXISANGLE was present in 10.2, when no
internal spinning was available?
I think this should be homogenized. Also, I am finding that the order
of parameters is often irrelevant (e.g. angle before reference
points, or the other way round; the position of "axisangle" and
"molecular" keywords...), but documentation is not consistent to this
respect; a novice user will benefit from a systematic description. I
will try to write something so that we can update the docs.
Comments (particularly Bob's) or experience with the new spin and
rotate will be welcome
