Jmol users, good news!
The signed new applet load/save menu items have been checked successfully
now on Windows XP/Firefox,MSIE and Mac OS-X/Safari,Firefox. This is a whole
new age for the applet. Specifically the signed applet menu adds these two
items near the top:
Load >
Load PDB
Load file or URL
Load full unit cell
Save >
File [filename here]
SPT State
SPT History
---
JPG Image
PNG Image
POV-Ray
---
JVXL Isosurface
VRML 3D Model
Maya 3D Model
Really these are just scripts that employ the new capability to throw up a
file open/save dialog box anyplace in a script where a filename is
appropriate. Just prepend the filename with a question mark:
load ?
script ?.spt
write image 500 500 ?1crn.jpg
isosurface "?.jvxl"
In addition,
load ?
has the interesting capability of allowing Jmol preview of the model prior
to full loading -- even of remote web-based models.
It's that simple.
The ? syntax works also in the Jmol application, since the two code segments
were merged in the process of development.
As currently implemented, if the user clicks [cancel], then any further
script processing within that running script is canceled --- same as a quit
command. The logic there is that if a file wasn't loaded, probably one
should not continue to the next line of the script.
The revision is 11.6.RC15. You can see it in action at
http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/simple.htm?1blu
(or your choice of any four-digit PDB code)
and
http://Jmol.ProteinExplorer.org
I'm sure there are some interface glitches here, so please check these
capabilities out and send your feedback.
I think a reasonable estimate of release of 1.6 should be Oct. 1. If people
can get testing on this, I should be able to have a final release candidate
soon, and then two weeks of stability testing should do it.
Enjoy!
Bob
ps - It turns out there was a GIF encoder hiding in the Jmol code all along,
so I activated that as well. You can now save GIF images, but frankly they
look terrible because (I believe) GIF is limited to 256 colors. So I didn't
add that possibility to the menu.
