Jmol developers, I'm working on creating an XML variant of the JVXL format. The latest SVN code implements this new file format by default when writing some of the newer features, such as discrete contours and the reading of EFVET (triangle-data files). If you use
set testflag4 TRUE
then it writes XML by default for any isosurface.
The new XML format allows for specifying everything that the original JVXL
format did, but does it in a MUCH more understandable way and will be the
basis for expanded capability.
The basic layout is shown in the attached file and is just (figuratively --
all this is really XML)
[header stuff]
[volume data]
[isosurfaceSet]
[isosurface 1]
[isosurface 2]
...
where
[isosurface 1]
is
[parameters and information]
[surface data]
[contour data]
Here [surface data] can be any one of a number of definitions of a surface,
including edges and color mapping, or of how color is mapped to a plane, or
a definition of a set of triangles (not necessarily an "iso"-surface) and
how they are to be colored.
The [contour data] there is somewhat new. This allows one to specify a set
of lines running along the surface in any way whatsoever, but typically
representing contours.
Who would like to help me with this so that I have a better chance of doing
it right?
Bob
