I don't think it should be on by default: 1) Jmol is much slower than without it. You don't notice this with the little molecule on Bob's example page. But if you take the relatively small protein dimer in the example below working gets very difficult with increasing zoom level (1.8 GHz AMD Athlon 3000+ processor): a) load URL http://www.fli-leibniz.de/cgi-bin/3d_mapping.pl?CODE=1deh&JMOLVERSION=11.3.38 b) enter command "set antialiasDisplay true" into script input line 2) The extra memory requirement is quite high according to Bob's table, e.g.: 600x600 pixel ------------- antialias OFF ON-translucent ON+translucent no translucent 2.8 MB 11.0 MB 11.0 MB objects with translucent 5.5 MB 13.7 MB 22.0 MB objects 1000x1000 pixel ------------- antialias OFF ON-translucent ON+translucent no translucent 7.6 MB 30.5 MB 30.5 MB objects with translucent 15.3 MB 38.1 MB 61.0 MB objects If you consider that newer Java versions (at least on my systems) have set the default memory available for all applets running in parallel to 92 MB, this might give trouble.
