Miguel-
I recently subscribed to the Jmol users list. For the most part, I
listen and learn. I have already learned quite a bit. I'll use this
prerelease thread to offer a "brief" thanks.
I'm writing as what appears to be a non-traditional user of Jmol. I
teach large lecture section non-major chemistry at Illinois State
University. For years, I used Chime as a virtual model tool for lecture
presentations and student assignments. The Jmol applet has been a wonderful
replacement for the Chime plug-in approach, particularly as this replacement
relates to student assignments.
The ability to use click call back and message call back to create a
small molecule virtual model kit that allows for "atom substitution" by atom
clicking is great lecture amphitheater tool in advanced technology
classrooms.
I'll go back to my listening and learning mode, but I did want to
put in a word of thanks from an alternative user of Jmol. Bob Hanson's site
has been particularly helpful, and some of the list archives have been of
great service to me also. I have some specific questions for Bob about
tricks that he has developed, but I'll take these off list since they are
probably not of general interest.
A bit verbose, but thanks again to all.
Regards
Otis

> Jmol prerelease 10.00.43 is now available for download from:
>
> http://www.jmol.org/files
>
> It has been several weeks, so I am sure that this release contains a few
> things, but I have forgotten what I did.
>
> One important thing that it does contain is new functionality for
> formatting label strings.
>
> Lengths and widths can now be applied to formatting tags in the 'label'
> and 'hover' commands.
>
> This formatting basically follows the printf formatting conventions in the
> c programming language.
>
> It is easier to give examples:
>
> To show the X coordinate with 2 digits of decimal precision:
>
> label "my x coordinate is %.2x";
>
> To show x,y,z with 1 digit of precision:
>
> label "%.1x,%.1y,%.1z"
>
>
> To display the partial charge, left aligned in an 8 character field with 3
> digits to the right of the decimal point
>
> label "%-8.3P"
