Interesting, Bob This suggests me some promising possibilities. Could your implementation be used for them, probably using some scripting?
a) Moving a subset of the model. For example, moving a ligand out of its binding site, to coarsely simulate the unbound or approaching states. Or just a better display of a file containing several separate molecules (for ex, I could combine 4 nitrogen bases in a file like in 4-panel display as far as they are aligned to be seen from a similar perspective; the starting 4 files will likely have different coordinate systems, but the dragging allows nme to put them side by side) b) Model superimposition/alignment. For instance, DeepView does alignment from 2 loaded pdb files, when you choose in both models the atoms that will be used for superimposition. Each of the 2 models is then translated and rotated around as a whole until those atoms positions match, The new coordinates can be saved, for both models separate or together in a single file. This allows for displaying two-state animations, like hemoglobin oxi-deoxi transition. It would be important that after manipulation the new coordinates can be saved to disk. Separate: If I remember correctly, after "set picking draw" ALT_LEFT is already translating the objects. So, do you plan to have ALT_SHIFT_LEFT doing the same, or am I missing some difference? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Jmol-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jmol-developers
