Image exporting is currently only supported in the Jmol application.
Some functionality could be added to the applet, but it would require
cooperation with a cooperating CGI on the web server.
Given the (mediocre) level of web technology expertise of most of the Jmol
community, I believe that it would be a support nightmare.
With the goal of porting Protein Explorer to jmol, I'd like the applet to
be able to export to pov-ray.
We recently set up a CGI that may be close to what you describe as
necessary for the applet to export to pov-ray. We needed Protein Explorer
to export an html document without having the browser (whatever it might
be) corrupt the details. So Tim Driscoll wrote a very simple PERL CGI
program that allows PE to POST the html content to it (from a javascript
string), then the CGI program returns an html file in a "save to disk"
dialog. This seems to work flawlessly -- of course you must have an
Internet connection to use it, but that is not a problem even for most
students these days.
The primary CGI is operated from http://bioinformatics.org/molslidesupport/
There you will see the PERL source. Perhaps this can be adapted for the
pov-ray export project. Bioinformatics.org has been a great, reliable free
server for this project as well as for molvis-list
(http://bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/molvis-list).
