I worked on the povray output some time ago (january maybe) to add other things than just atoms and bonds, but I left it unfinished because the JmolViewer interface needs a lot of work to give access to informations on how every element is rendered. This part must be thought with care. Maybe Miguel remembers the discussions we had at this time. Otherwise, the current version outputs only : - "atoms" - "bonds" (if you don't set wireframe to off) - and one of the structure (don't remember which) but you have to manually edit the .pov: set to true a #declare showXXX. The showBonds section is empty in the first case because of wireframe off. Nicolas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
