For use in online-tutoring I would like to keep several
*distributed* copies of the same Jmol-displayed molecular
model *synchronized*.
There is no problem, I suppose, if I restrict myself to script-
driven interaction with the model (displayed as an applet),
because in that case I have an easy handle on state changes:
I can simply distribute the script commands to all other
copies running elsewhere on the net, as required.
However, I would like to allow users to modify the model
interactively, as usual, e.g. by rotating the model with the mouse,
selecting pop-menu entries, and the like.
But the JmolStatusListener Interface does not seem to support
the catching of such model status changes...
Has anyone *already* tried to solve this general type of
problem with Jmol? Can give me anyone more knowledgeable
in the design of Jmol than myself (a newcomer, actually) an
off-hand reply that might point me in the *right* direction
- even if it would amount to telling me to simply *abandon* the
idea of the kind of direct model status observation that a "perfect"
solution for synchronized distributed molecular models would
require?
Thanks in advance,
Christian Stapfer
