Hi Henry,
I hadn't heard about the Winnower, but I just looked at it and saw your post
about Rubisco. Nice!
Not sure I understand how this would work, though. But that's partly because
I'm confused about the archival part of the Winnower. Looking at the source for
your Rubisco post, it seems that the images are still hosted at your blog, not
archived at their site, which makes it somewhat less archival than it sounds.
But maybe jsmol could do some kind of deferred loading of the canvas so it
shows an image instead of executing the loading of the structure. There could
be an onclick that launched the canvas. But I'm not sure that can be done with
just the wordpress plugin. While my js skills are VERY poor, I suspect that it
would require modifying the core jsmol code to launch in response to a click
instead of when the page is loaded. It might be possible to inject the entire
JSmol js code after the click, but I have a feeling that wouldn't work, at
least with the existing code.
I think having a static image display before jsmol runs would speed up display
not just on Wordpress, but also in other sites. So maybe this option should be
added to the core (if it doesn't exist already). Your thoughts, Bob?
The static image or animated gif would have to come from somewhere, of course.
