Hello All but Bob in particular 
Another of my less sophisticated questions:

I am updating some of my files about simple biological chemicals  
http://www.biotopics.co.uk/jsmol/fattyacids.html

Elaidic acid - a trans fatty acid - has a double bond in the middle of its 
chain. 

Having followed your advice and applied 'set multiplebondspacing 0.4' , I am 
happy that the double bond now displays in line with the rest
of the chain, as I expected. Thank you.

The file I am using is in fact just an edited version of the stearic acid file 
above it.


I notice that the Wikipedia page on Elaidic acid shows 2 static images which 
are more or less straight, but 

the Jmol interactive image from this page:

http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jmol.php?model=O%3DC%28O%29CCCCCCC%2FC%3DC%2FCCCCCCCC

gives a molecule which droops down on either side of the double bond.

Is this what is intended?

Best Wishes

Richard Steane
