Eran, the zoom is by percent, where 100% is the distance of the edge of a cube containing the entire model. So zoom 100% allows full rotation of the model within the window (provided you also SET ZOOMLARGE FALSE) And 50% gets you twice the width as zoom 100%. These dimensions can be determined by looking at
$ getproperty "boundboxinfo" boundboxinfo center {10.5935 10.2105 6.0790005} vector {13.6905 10.7265005 13.500999} corner1 {24.284 20.937 19.58} corner0 {-3.0970001 -0.51600075 -7.4219995} or, for example: $ x=getproperty("boundboxinfo","corner1") $ print x {24.284 20.937 19.58} var x = show("boundbox") On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 7:56 AM, Eran Hodis <eranho...@gmail.com> wrote: > Does anyone know how to translate (in either the x or the y axis) by a > specific number of Angstroms?

It's not exactly clear how that would work with translation, as the front part is generally at a different scale than the back part, but perhaps it could be defined in terms of the center. That's an idea. translate x 0.3 [nm|angstroms] > Thanks, > Eran > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF.net email is sponsored by: > SourcForge Community > SourceForge wants to tell your story. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword > _______________________________________________ > Jmol-users mailing list > Jmol-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jmol-users > > -- Robert M.
