Thanks to everyone who helped to release 11.8.9. Its great! Bob, in http://MolecularPlayground.Org I am trying to let people rotate the molecule at any time in the animation, including, for example, during zooming. Therefore I am minimizing the use of moveto and zoomto because these "fight" with concurrent user-induced-rotations, inexorably going to the specified orientation.
So for zooms, I am just running a loop with "zoom" commands in small increments. The problem was to make the zoom center stay where I put the molecule (down a bit). Well, in Jmol 11.8.8 "set windowcentered false" did NOT free zoom from recentering in the window center, but I see that this is fixed in 11.8.9 -- HOORAY! So now "set windowcentered false" is the equivalent of Chime's "set zoomcenter off" which was very useful. Jmol continues to rock! -Eric At 11/9/09, Robert Hanson wrote: >Eric, > >Actually, it's just > >set windowCentered false > >:) > >Bob > > >On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 6:38 PM, Robert Hanson ><<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]> wrote: >Eric, there is a way around this, but I have to check to see if >there is a bug there.
