Are you saying you would like to have a single file that contains all
figures? I'm not sure of the benefit there. I would think a publisher would
want ten independent files -- figure1.png, figure2.png, etc. Why the
interest in an array?
What does "cascade down to" mean in this context?
There is no HTML5/WebGL alternative for Jmol scripts. If you want, you can
package your script/image in PNGJ or JPG format, then either deliver the
image or the Jmol applet -- that's almost trivial -- but not "image only or
HTML5/WebGL only". So not even considering an array, that's not possible at
this point in time and probably never will be, unless the Jmol scripts are
extremely simple.
Actually, we should probably start referring to two things -- WebGL and
HTML5 -- because really those are two different options. For example, the
iPhone and android tablet can load the HTML5 version of a model but not the
WebGL version.
A good modification of JmolApplet.js would be to make it so that if the
option "Jmol or image" is given and the script is as simple as "script
xxxx" or "load xxxx" and 'xxxx' is a PNG or PNGJ or JPG file, then we
automatically show the image. That would certainly be easy to set up.
Implementing that now....

Q: Would these images be created by Jmol or some other application?
