Hi Guys,

I'm trying to write some code to let the viewer rotate the molecule to their
liking, then have a high resolution image made based on that orientation.  B
I wonder if there is some way to track and output the on-screen orientation.
Once I know what rotations were applied in jmol, I can re-apply the same
rotations in pymol to make my high-res image.  Is it possible to track the
angular orientation in this way?

Another approach might be to make buttons that rotate the molecule in set
increments; I could keep track of these button clicks and thus know how to
rotate the molecule.  However it would be so much nicer if the user could
just rotate freely with the mouse..

Please let me know if anyone can help.

Thanks

Subject: [Jmol-developers] spin/rotate consolidation -- request for comments

OK! Here we go. I have completed a full rewrite of spin/rotate/center.

I still have a day of testing to do on it, but it's very clean.

The old "spin x, spin y, spin z, spin on/off" is still there, but
I consider it deprecated. FAR better is a full complement of
INTERNAL and FIXED frame rotations and spinning involving
x, y, z, -x, -y, -z, arbitrary axisangle [x y z], designation
of (atom sets) [x y z] coordinates, and [line1] draw objects
for both fixed and internal spinning and rotating, and designation
of two coordinates or two atom sets or an atom set and a coordinate
for internal coordinate spinning. Test page will be at
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/test/json/spin.htm
momentarily.

     *
     * spin and rotate are now consolidated here.
     * The old "spin x, spin y, spin z" is still there, but
     * pretty much deprecated because it is not that useful.
     * spin on and spin off still work as well -- and are important
     *
     * far simpler is
     *
     *  spin x 10
     *  spin y 10
     *  
     *  these are pure x or y spins or
     *  
     *  spin axisangle [1 1 0] 10
     *  
     *  this is the same as the old "spin x 10; spin y 10" -- or is it?
     *  anyway, it's better!
     *  
     *  note that there are many defaults
     *  
     *  spin
     *  spin 10
     *  spin x
     *  
     *  and several new options
     *  
     *  spin -x
     *  spin axisangle [1 1 0] 10
     *  spin 10 (atomno=1)(atomno=2)
     *  spin 20 [0 0 0] [1 1 1]
     *  
     *  The INTERNAL keyword indicates that spins or rotations are to be
     *  carried out in the internal molecular coordinate frame, not the
     *  fixed room frame.
