The idea is that you might want to send quite a few of these. So there
is no refresh. That is, you won't see the effect until you issue a
"refresh" command. The sequence I used as a test (Jmol 11.3.6) is:
function test1() {
jmolSetAtomCoordRelative(Math.floor(Math.random()*6),Math.random()/5-0.1,Math.random()/5-0.1,Math.random()/5-0.1)
jmolScriptWait("refresh")
}
this worked fine. If you want to send a set of coordinates, then you can
use the data command:
data "coord"
3;
0 , , 2.3 3.1 4.0;
5 , , 3.3 4.4 5.1;
10 , , 6.2 7.3 8.1;
end "coord"
* The first number is the number of points to follow.
* Records are separated by semicolons and, if desired, a new line
* Items are separated by any whitespace.
* The first number is the atom index, starting with 0 and running
through ALL loaded models; then two dummy fields, then the x y z
coordinates follow that.
* The commas above are just placeholders; they can be any character or
word, as long as they are separated from the other data by spaces. At
the moment I can't remember what they are for!
Ah, I have a feeling I forgot to document this. :)
