Thanks, Bob As I suspected, there ARE technical reasons for this change. Well, that is that. We'll remember to change code in webpages when we update Jmol, won't we?

Well, I was of course only thinking of classcial spin, around external axes. > Perhaps it's my preference showing up here in that I happen to be > particularly annoyed by websites that start models spinning. I am also, most times, but there are situations calling for it. No problem. There is also the option --which I am not using since I prefer user's action over scripted "movies", but it is very sensible-- of scripting a short-time spinning that stops automatically. BTW, has anyone noticed or used already my "universal" single button toggle spin on/off script? It's on the Wiki, Recycling Corner. I was quite proud when I managed to produce it --no more click twice to reset a nonmatching checkbox--. > Certainly this behavior is open for discussion. You are doing the hard work, and you have sound reasons. It's OK for me. Thanks for the list of persistent "set"s. I will try to write it down somewhere -likely in the Wiki, easiest place to update and to find-. > The objective is simply to provide a well-defined reproducible state, This is a TERRIFIC new ability for Jmol that we (and that means myself) should publicize better; I'm afraid that users are not realizing its existence (I still tend to forget it). As Chime authors, we were used to use Rasmol for playing around with the model, generate a script that reproduced it, save it to file, then load it with Chime. When switching to Jmol, the lack of a similar tool was a big shock. And now one forgets that there IS a new similar tool --only the scripts are MUCH BETTER than in Rasmol, clearer and more compact.

We'll be lost then ;-D Thanks so much! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
