Hello, I became interested in the more advanced export features provided by jmol, allowing a generation of interactive 3D pdf data. As the present wiki pages of jmol describe, this could be achieved by
1) export of the present scenery as an IDTF file, then 2) a conversion the IDTF converter in the *.U3D format that finally may be embedded, for example, with movie15.sty package in LaTeX. By doing so, I experienced some odd things concerning the molecular structure being displayed. Some of the atoms are represented as sticks ; some atom/atom groups are represented as spheres, but partially lack connection with the main molecule. So far, I was not aware if the representation (stick-only vs. ball-stick-model) may be altered for single atoms/groups of atoms ; but am even more concerned by the fact of atoms becoming isolated. For this test I used the following enviroment/software: -- Windows XP, service pack 3 -- java verision 1.6.0_07 -- jmol as provided in the repository jmol-11.9.23-binary -- pdfLaTeX with movie15 package -- IDTF Converter.exe for Windows, as pointed by the wiki page pf jmol and it would be possible to share some of the data (initial *.cif file used, generated outputs by jmol/IDTF converter, the pdf-embedded u3d-data). Indeed, I would be interested to know to whom of the developers I eventually could send these files. With regards, Norwid Behrnd --- --- --- Norwid-Rasmus Behrnd, Ph.D. Group E. J.
