hi, restrict is a RasMol/Chime compatible command, which means it is important that it function as it does in RasMol/Chime. that said, I would be interested in discussing a Jmol-specific method of controlling the display. maybe some pair of commands like show and hide: # this shows protein in spacefill, current method # select protein spacefill 100% color cpk # this hides protein from view but 'remembers' the format # hide protein # this restores protein to last format; i.e., spacefill # show protein this requires Jmol to store format for each atom, and I don't know how difficult that would be to implement. but it would certainly add a very nice, more intuitive (for some) command for controlling the display. just my $0.02, tim -- Timothy Driscoll molvisions - see, grasp, learn. <http://www.molvisions.com/> usa:north carolina:raleigh "Enzymes are things invented by biologists that explain things which otherwise require harder thinking." - Jerome Lettvin ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
