Agreed. > I was thinking about implementing a "binary" pmesh (same exact > format), unless someone's already done that. Also, it'd be nice to read in a whole bundle of files at once (I'm thinking a .zip file with a script and all associated resources). I think that would be fine. Jmol has support built in for gzip files. Any molecular data file format can be gzipped and Jmol will automagically unzip it. gzip was nicer for this application because I was reading a single file. zip (jar) would be better for sets of files ... although Jmol currently doesn't have any mechanism to deal with a directory of files. That is, it wouldn't know which of the files you wanted to *open* and what you would want to do with the other files. >>>> I put together a little page for you guys to experiment with.
