Up to 10.9.75 I loaded multiple cells eg {3 3 3} in order to construct
polyhedra at cell edges, and then did a restrict cell={ 2 2 2 } to hide all
except the atoms in the central cell. I found that if I had multiple frames in
my CIF I needed to step through them eg as follows before drawing the polyhedra
etc.
'frame 1;unitcell {1 1 1};frame 2;unitcell {1 1 1};frame 3;unitcell {1 1
1};frame 4;unitcell {1 1 1};'+
This worked up to 10.9.75 eg:
http://icsd.ill.fr/icsd/cifdraw.php?filen=help/y12367.cif&id[]=0
but the above multiple frame line hangs 10.9.79. Since I didn't understand why
I had to step through the frames in the first place, it is perhaps not
surprising that this no longer works for me :-) But if I leave it out, I only
have polyhedra for the 1st frame.
Otherwise, I like the idea of simplifying the menus depending on what the user
seems to be doing, but am not entirely convinced about the dynamic menus, and
having different menus depending on whether one right-clicks in the background
or left clicks on the Jmol logo. For example, if I click on the logo and ask to
view the CIF, not only does this no longer work :-) but afterwards I only have
access to the models menu from the logo. I have to right-click on the
background to obtain access to other menus, even the console or the Style-Atoms
menu (and why so many choices of van der Waals radii and no ionic radii?).
The great thing about Jmol is that so much is possible, and that it can be
tailored for different audiences by constructing one's own scripts and menus.
(When I work out how to use multiple CIF frames correctly).
Alan.
