For a long time now, it's been a bit bothersome to have lots of options on the Jmol menu that didn't make sense in Sage. I've posted a patch and spkg that greatly simplifies the menu (but leaves the old menu available through an "Advanced" submenu, in case someone has grown fond of coloring molecular bonds :).
The spkg and patch are up at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/2873 The simplified menu looks like: View: Positive octant XY plane XZ plane YZ plane Style: Perspective Depth Boundbox Axes ---- Stereographic (current submenu) Axes Hide Dotted ------ Pixel width Width Boundbox Hide Dotted ------ Pixel width Width Color Background Axes Boundbox --- Zoom (current submenu) Spin (current submenu) --- Advanced (current full menu) --- About Jmol (current submenu) What do people think? (You can also apply the patch and install the spkg to see the menu). Are there any other options you use that you'd like to see on the menu? Note that I took off some of the animation and picking options since we don't currently use them, but it'd be cool to use them and put them back on the menu! Incidentally, when doing this, I realized that the default view for a 3d object is not looking at the first octant, which would see more standard. Is there a reason why we are not looking in the first octant when a 3d image is first displayed? Also, I'll take this opportunity to ask for reviews of http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/3106, which implements a "Get Image" link next to every Jmol plot. Clicking this link pops up a static image of whatever is in the jmol applet, which you can then copy and do whatever with.
