Dear Bob,
thanks a lot for your answer. Not really a surface format - what I am
doing is re-generate a surface out of Povray data, which include
vertices, faces, and per-vertex aRGB information. I did that with
success with PyMOL using CGO_OBJs, which support per-vertex color and
translucency.
There is a format which is already supported by Jmol which carries
per-vertex RGB information, which is Efvet. Currently RGB fields are
ignored by the parser, but modifying the Efvet format parser would
probably be the least painful way to implement it. Per-vertex
translucency would be a plus - it is nice because you can "peek" inside
without z-clipping the surface.
Thanks again for your interest in this, best regards
p.

Let's think about how to do this. Generally what we do is to create a
surface and then color it by vertex in a second "mapping" pass. What
you want is to do that in one pass. I don't see why that would be a
problem; we just don't have it in place right now. Is there a simple
format you know of that has vertex coloring? If so, let's just write a
surface reader for that.
But translucency by vertex -- that would take some thinking.

Dear all,
I have been studying the Jmol code trying to find a way to color the
vertices of a pmesh surface imported in Jmol. As far as I could
understand, it should be doable by defining as many colors as
required,
and then defining the appropriate color indexes for each vertex. This
should also allow setting a per-vertex alpha value. Is this correct?
My concern is: maybe I can succeed in implementing a surface reader to
assign appropriate colors to the surface. But can such a coloring
scheme
fit in the JVXL format and therefore be loadable by a JSMol-enabled
webserver? Otherwise, my effort would be useless
Any help is very appreciated
Best regards
Paolo
