compres
sion 9)
 -g,--geometry                window width x height, e.g. -g500x500
 -x,--exit                    exit after script (implicit with -n)
 -D <property=value>          supported options are given below
 -b,--backgroundtransparent   transparent background
 -c,--check                   check script syntax only
 -h,--help                    give this help page

Jmol -ions myscript.spt -w JPEG:myfile.jpg > output.txt

The -D options are as follows (defaults in parathesis):

  cdk.debugging=[true|false] (false)
  cdk.debug.stdout=[true|false] (false)
  display.speed=[fps|ms] (ms)
  JmolConsole=[true|false] (true)
  jmol.logger.debug=[true|false] (false)
