Oh, one thing that did sneak into 11.6 last night was adaptive color
reduction for GIF images. They won't be great images when there are 40,000
colors (as in color-mapped isosurfaces), but for everything else I
(personally) think they look terrific.
This now sets us up to do animated GIF images, I think. That should be no
real problem -- I've added some movie creation classes in 11.7.
Other new items in 11.7 (these are things I've been working on lately but
not been able to check in) include:
draw LINE # line segments
write FRAMES # sequence of frames as still images
load FILES ... COORD # Molecular Dynamics trajectory viewing
expanded quaternion methods
VERY preliminary support for cryoEMD
# new feature: draw LINE {...} {...} {...} {...} draws line segments
# new feature: making Jmol movies using write frames {atomExpression}
[width] [height] "movie.jpg"
# creates a set of files movie0001.jpg, movie0002.jpg, etc. for frames in
atomExpression
# these files can then be combined using an external program of user's
choice to create
# a movie from a sequence of JPEG images
#
# write frames {*} "all.jpg"
# write frames {1.0} "firstFile.jpg"
# write frames {1.0} 200 200 "smallFile.jpg"
#
# new feature: load of molecular dynamics topology file and coordinates
#
# load files "u.mdtop" FILTER "![WAT],![URE]" COORD {0 -1 1}
"mdcrd::u.mdcrd" ;
#
# -- mdtop file must have %FLAG and %FORMAT comments
# -- FILTER is optional
# -- COORD {first,last,step} is optional for each coordinate file loaded
# first,last,step same as in VMD -- 0 for very first trajectory, last
-1 meaning "all"
# default {0 0 1} so that just one trajectory is loaded from each file
# -- explicit format "mdcrd::" is required, because these files have no
identifying characteristics
# -- as many COORD keywords/coordinate files as desired can be included:
#
# load files "u.mdtop" FILTER "![WAT],![URE]" COORD {0 -1 1}
"mdcrd::u1.mdcrd" "mdcrd::u2.mdcrd" COORD {0 300 10} "mdcrd::u3.mdcrd" ;
#
# new feature: x = quaternion({center_or_point}, {atomX_or_point},
{atomXY_or_point})
#
# -- quaternion is created based on three atoms or coordinates
# -- such that X = atomX - center, Z = cross(atomXY - center, atomX), Y =
cross(Z, X)
#
# new feature: x = quaternion(q, "id", {center})
#
# -- creates DRAW sequence to draw quaternion q as three arrows red(x),
green(y), blue(z)

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
