Interesting. Try this:
function rotToHKL(h, k, l) {
# 1. find the normal to the plane and the axis perpendicular to it and the
the z axis
Var norm = hkl(h,k,l)%4
Var axis = cross({0 0 1}, norm)
# 2. find the rotation necessary to rotate the plane normal to the z axis
Var rot = 180 + angle({0 0 1}, axis, {0 0 0} , norm)
# 3. undo the current rotation (reset, but keeping the zoom the same)
Var q0 = !quaternion(script("show rotation"))
rotate @q0
# 4. apply the rotation
Var q1 = quaternion(axis, rot)
rotate molecular quaternion @q1
# 5. show the plane, just to confirm
isosurface hkl @{point(h,k,l)} translucent
# 6. center the structure?
center
}
