Currently (Jmol 10.3.1), when Slab is on, clicking on the molecule reports (via pickcallback) invisible atoms that are outside (e.g. in front of) the visible slab. This is a serious deficiency/bug, because slabbing is an important tool to simplify the view of complex molecules. Often, with slab on, one wants to center or identify atoms you cannot see well with slab off. But one can't.
In FirstGlance in Jmol, I have had to take evasive maneuvers. I message "Sorry, can't identify with slab on", and Slab is forced off when entering dialogs that require clicking on atoms, such as the Contacts and Hide dialogs. I block turning slab on in these dialogs (at least via the Slab button). I don't know how much work it will be to fix this problem with slab, but I think it is high priority because it so seriously limits the value of slabbing, a tool of primary importance. -Eric /* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Eric Martz, Professor Emeritus, Dept Microbiology U Mass, Amherst -- http://www.umass.edu/molvis/martz Biochem 3D Education Resources http://MolviZ.org See 3D Molecules, Install Nothing! - http://firstglance.jmol.org Protein Explorer - 3D Visualization: http://proteinexplorer.org Workshops: http://workshops.proteinexplorer.org World Index of Molecular Visualization Resources: http://molvisindex.org ConSurf - Find Conserved Patches in Proteins: http://consurf.tau.ac.il Atlas of Macromolecules: http://atlas.proteinexplorer.org PDB Lite Macromolecule Finder: http://pdblite.org Molecular Visualization EMail List (molvis-list): http://bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/molvis-list - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
