Earlier this year Bob introduced very nice functionality to move a label dynamically by SHIFT-click (application) or CTRL-click (applet) on an atom, and then dragging its associated label to a desired location. For this to work, one had first to
set picking select label; I am seeing a couple of issues in implementing this, which may be partially due to my misunderstanding of existing features or constraints, but it may also be demonstrating buggy behaviour. (1) I enter the following commands: $ select none; 0 atoms selected $ select (atomno=14); 1 atoms selected $ label %a; $ set picking select label; At this point, I see a label with the atom name (O1), as specified by the "label %a" command. Now I click on the atom - the label disappears, as expected - and click again. The label is restored but in the default (%[identify]) format. My question: is there any way to ensure that after toggling a label on/off using the "set picking select label" it can be restored with the format it had prior to toggling off? (2) At this point, I can store the graphics state, using "show state", and run it. The result is unchanged. However, if, while I still have "set picking select label" I SHIFT-click on an atom and move its label, then save the state, and then re-run the saved state, the position of the label has now shifted. Looks like a bug. (3) A supplementary question. Having gone through this exercise (i.e. saved the graphics state and re-run it as a standalone script), if I now click on an atom, the application reports that atom's name and position (i.e. it has reverted to the default picking behaviour). Does this imply that the picking mode is not retained within the graphics state? If so, is there any way that it could be? [I am not sure that I would want it to be, but am curious as to the possibility.] Thanks Brian _________________________________________________________________________ Brian McMahon tel: +44 1244 342878 Research and Development Officer fax: +44 1244 314888 International Union of Crystallography e-mail: [email protected] 5 Abbey Square, Chester CH1 2HU, England ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
