I found all the colors confusing. I assume that the idea is to be able to look at a residue and judge where it fits in the chain. With a broad palette of non-standard colors, how can anyone possibly know what color comes first. It *might* be better if the sequence was the colors of the rainbow ... but it isn't. So, that is why red->white->blue seemed better to me. The color spread is simple and easy to interpret. I can look at a residue and know where it fits relative to the chain length. >>Q: What would be wrong with red -> white -> blue?

But since 'temperature' and 'charge' are already using red/white/blue I thought that maybe it would be OK > would it be difficult to let the user define the start and end colors, > and have Jmol interpolate the colors between? If you wanted to have a fixed number of colors (like 2 or 3) then it would probably be pretty easy. Having a variable number of colors might be more than I am willing to deal with right now. But, if you catch me on a good day *after* the v10 release I might reconsider. Miguel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
