I would like to add a feature to FirstGlance in Jmol. While using it
(always in a web browser), I would like a button that generates a
rotating multi-GIF of the current molecular view, for inclusion in a
slide presentation.
In the Jmol application, a one-line command accomplishes that:
capture “something.gif” spin Y # THANK YOU BOB!
Examples of such animations can be viewed in this Powerpoint:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ki7wkuj8ojlvb0f/animation-examples-jmol.pptx?dl=0
(/You don't have to login to dropbox. Click "no thanks, continue to

Bob has said that the signed Jmol_s Java applet will NOT be able to
write files to the local disk.
Therefore I think the best solution might be to submit the current model
and Jmol state script to a server, have the server run Jmol application,
generate the multi-GIF file, and hand it back to the user for download.
1. Is this the best solution?
2. If so, will someone please guide me in how to do this?
Thanks very much, Eric
