I may be misunderstanding but this could relate to POV-Ray too. It seems Arie 
is 
doing some post-processing of Jmol-produced files to better center an object 
and 
you suggest maybe Jmol could do this on its own.  Could this be added to 
POV-Ray 
output too? Making movies (rotating the molecule or zooming the camera around 
in 
any way other than directly towards the center) using the POV-Ray output from 
Jmol is next to impossible as the objects aren't centered. It is quite easy 
with 
Deep View's direct POV-Ray output; I don't know about Pymol but I know Eran has 
made eMovie for PyMol
