Jmol 11.7.22 has a new option for translate: translate x|y|z x.x nm|angstroms
translate x 2.5 nm translate y 25 angstroms translate z 1.0 ang (only the first character, "n" or "a", is recognized) For x and y the result is to move the model that many angstroms or nanometers. For z the result is to change the zoom such that the width of the display at model center is (approximately) that many angstroms less -- resulting in the illusion of zoom "by that many angstroms". (I think...you tell me!) Maximum values are +/-100 units For now, uploaded to http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11 see http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/Jmol-11.jar Bob On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 2:52 PM, Robert Hanson <hans...@stolaf.edu> wrote: > Eran, the zoom is by percent, where 100% is the distance of the edge > of a cube containing the entire model.
