Jmol users: I've written up a little about my proposed JVXL file format for transmitting molecular surface data over the web.
For discussion.... http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/docs/JVXL-format.pdf Abstract A format specification for the Jmol voxel (JVXL) file format is proposed. The purpose of the JVXL file format is to provide a mechanism for the efficient delivery of molecular surface data (orbitals, electron density plots, electrostatic potential maps, etc.) from a web server to a client page in a compact manner. It was designed to be used specifically with the open-source Jmol molecular viewing and analysis applet (http://jmol.sourceforge.net), but the format has general utility anywhere a Gaussian CUBE file might be employed. Whereas typical CUBE files are on the order of 1-10 Mb in size, the derived JVXL files are 400-1000 times smaller, on the order of 5-10Kb, allowing for a far more efficient use of bandwidth. The Jmol applet can read and write the JVXL file format, and currently it is the only application that can be used to create JVXL files. Bob Hanson -- -- Robert M.
