hi Miguel, all of them. :-) my somewhat naive thought is that Jmol tracks the position of every atom, visible or not, but must have some way to determine which of those atoms get painted to the screen - does this make sense? spacefill would be fairly easy to get - count the spheres. wireframe seems trickier - does Jmol render the atom at all, or just the bond cylinders? for backbone and related formats, could one count the alpha carbons (or phosphorus atoms)? how big is the tree that I'm barking up? ;-) regards, tim -- Timothy Driscoll molvisions - see, grasp, learn. <http://www.molvisions.com/> usa:north carolina:wake forest "A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any other invention, with the possible exceptions of handguns and Tequilla." - Mitch Ratcliffe ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
