The point used for centering changed sometime after 10.00. In the 10.00 release the default center was the average point (sometimes called the unweighted center of gravity). The default center was changed to be the center of the boundbox ... where the boundbox is defined by the min and max coordinate values along the cartesian axes. To see this, load up some molecule and say: set boundbox on; set axes on; Try this in 10.00 and in 10.?? and you will see a difference. The default center for RasMol/Chime is 'boundbox'. With most molecules, there is little difference between 'average' and 'boundbox'. One advantage of this change is that with some 'unbalanced' molecules the default zoom value can be a bit larger because the distance from the default center to the most remote atom is smaller. The centerAt command was added to give more flexibility over placement of the center.

There are no plans to change this again. Miguel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems?
