Correct. This behavior is different from Chime/RasMol. In Jmol the labels are floating in 3D space, with an x,y,z offset from their associated atom. x & y offsets are script-controllable. The z offset is a function of the 'spacefill' radius of the atom. The z-coordinate is adjusted so that the label is a few pixels in front of the surface of the atom. > In slab (10.00.43) one can only see labels which apply to the atoms > visible with slab off - atoms which were revealed by slabbing do not show > labels. Sorry ... I do not understand. Please try to explain with a simple example. > Presumably this is tied up with the 'echo text bug' ? Perhaps. Very few people use slab, so it may have bugs. > Is it the intention eventually to emulate label behaviour in Rasmol and > Chime ? No, there is no intention of emulating the label behavior of RasMol/Chime. The label code in Jmol has much more functionality than RasMol/Chime. - text rendering is much better - font size is atom-specific - font face is atom-specific - font color is atom-specific - label position relative to the associated atom is atom-specific As I said, very few people use slab. So if there are specific issues/problems/bugs related to the interaction of lables and slab then we can address them.
