First of all let's agree on "animation" in this context. The visualization of a sequence of structures, normally slightly different ones, that can be run forward, backward, continuous or step by step? Each structure is called a "frame" in Chime. Frames can be selected by their sequential number too. Up to now I haven't seen a fundamental border between a pdb-model and a xyz-frame, or any other format in which separate structures can be distinguished. It is Chime that draws a line between them. In Chime frames can not be shown on top of each other. However if that can be controlled in JMol by a script command "set models nmr|anim" ( set frames nmr|anim ?) it would be a good solution to distinguish between the two applications. Chime requires that all framed structures in a file have the same atoms in the same order. Not so for pdb-models I guess, I'm not sure though. Is this a restriction we would like to question? Is it present in JMol? Hens ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
