Yes, Jmol 9 had this feature. It did linear interpolation of atom positions between frames. > Googling it turned up this alone: http://thomas.kuehne.cn/references/ > jmol.diff. > > Weird? Maybe this was a branch that didn't catch on or something, but > if it in fact is not implemented in Jmol 10, I could take a stab at it. Most of the internal architecture was redone with Jmol 10. This feature related to animation was lost. I suggest that if you want to add this to Jmol 10 that it may be easier to add a separate 'interpolate' step that actually calculates and stores the intermediate positions of the atoms. I also suggest that you may want to consider using a spline-type interpolation rather than a linear interpolation. I think that would give better interpolated results in that the interpolated positions would be a smoothed position across 4 points rather than a linear position between 2 points.
