Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: dandam (dandam) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: image support Initial Comment: At the Concord Consortium we have incorporated Jmol into a larger Java program called the Molecular Workbench. One of the features we added to it is the ability to place an image in the container. I think this would be a cool feature for Jmol, in general, to be able to do. Check out an example here: http://mw2.concord.org/tmp.jnlp?address=http://mw2.concord.org/public/part2/bondtype/page11.cml -Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bob Hanson (hansonr) Date: 2008-08-15 00:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1082841 Originator: NO Done. Full support in 11.6.RC6 -- background (stretching), -- 2D echo (simple placement), and -- 3D echo, tied to an {x,y,z} coordinate, scalable, scales appropriately like text, with "set fontscaling true" Bob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: friedar (friedar) Date: 2008-07-16 06:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1190355 Originator: NO Just wondering what happened to this dialog... Seems like it's agreed that adding images to Jmol would be very useful, but nothing more after March of this year appears here. Would it be helpful to propose this to the list? If so I can do that... -Frieda ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: dandam (dandam) Date: 2008-03-12 12:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1119172 Originator: YES Right. With the callbacks the images could form the basis of a custom GUI built right into the Jmol frame. There are lots of possible uses. -Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Hanson (hansonr) Date: 2008-03-12 12:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1082841 Originator: NO Dan, Right, Charles and I worked together on the navigation mode, and I developed all the code for the navigation model, which he then integrated into MW (from what I understand) so that should be the same. That's certainly all in Jmol now. It is activated using "set navigationMode" and a number of other related settings. I'm a bit worried that 10.9 was the base and care might not have been taken to ensure that improvements in Jmol were folded into MW along the way. (Well, of course you wouldn't do that, but I hope Charles was fairly careful in not digging into many of the core classes too much.) 10.9 is a LONG way back, and a lot of structural changes in the base Jmol code and new capabilities have been introduced since then. Still, that's more your problem than mine -- I can probably take just about anything you've got and add it to Jmol 11.5. I was thinking just yesterday about the image issue. I can see all sorts of applications of that. We should definitely talk more about it and get it discussed on the user forum to see what people would like to have in that regard. We could have layers, translucency, pick callbacks, all sorts of things if we wanted.

The Molecular Workbench is open source. I believe you have previously been in contact with Charles Xie from the Concord Consortium regarding Jmol code questions and possible changes. He is the main programer on the Workbench. Here's a link to the main site for the software: http://mw.concord.org/modeler/index.html Charles' email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he can help you with finding the code within our code that does the image adding, placing, and removing. There are instructions at the bottom of the download page for accessing the MW source code or you can browse it online here: https://svn.concord.org/svn/projects/trunk/common/java/simulations/mw/src/ We have added several new features which are quite intertwined with version 10.9 I think, so I'm not sure how easily they would port to the new version of Jmol or how universally they would be used or desired by the greater Jmol community. One major change is to add 3D roving and navigation. I believe he may have done this in parallel or slightly before you added some similar features into the current Jmol. You can see an example of a molecule tour here (hover over the buttons below the model to understand the controls and try clicking on the thumbtacks too):http://mw2.concord.org/tmp.jnlp?address=http://mw2.concord.org/public/student/fly/hemoglobin2.cml And a roving activity (done by Frieda R.) here: http://mw2.concord.org/tmp.jnlp?address=http://mw2.concord.org/public/part2/missimmu/page2.cml ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Hanson (hansonr) Date: 2008-03-12 11:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1082841 Originator: NO yes, very nice. In fact -- if that's based on modifying the Jmol code, you need to send us patches to show how you did it so we can incorporate those changes into Jmol -- based on the license. Is the Molecular Workbench open source as well? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=379136&aid=1912806&group_id=23629 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Jmol-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jmol-developers
