@Jeff,
Jmol allows to control the display of specific parts of a model by an efficient
query language inherited from Rasmol "Select hetero; do whatever; select
protein; do whatever; ...".
To my use in class, this is a real motivation for using this software compared
to a "twiddling" application.
In the web chemdoodle app specification, I came on this page :
http://web.chemdoodle.com/tutorial/advanced/working-with-pdb-files
At the bottom it explains how you can change the display of proteins from the
default cartoon. It does not appear to be as easy as a select process.
My understanding is that you can have access via javascript to core
functionalities, but as Bob puts it, at the moment it involves a sensible
amount of coding
I have delved into the chemdoodle code for an hybrid Jmol/chemdoodle sketcher
project. It gave me the impression of being very well written and thus quite
easily hackable. From my perspective, the best solution given all the amount of
webpages using Jmol (and still even Chime !) would be to be able to control the
display on the 3D canvas through a scripting language allowing selections and
more.
