New description:
The notebook needs updates to utilize a pure javascript version of Jmol by
default for live 3-D. This includes changes to make the notebook
compatible with the newer jquery-1.9 (some things used in the notebook
have been deprecated).
Jmol is cross compiled to java and javascript. Because so many browser/OS
combinations now actively try to avoid using java applets, it is necessary
to have a pure javascript alternative. This solution provides all the
functionality of Jmol, but as expected since javascript is interpreted
rather than bytecode ("~3/4" of the way to compiled) the performance when
interacting with the plot is slower.
This first implementation removes the user tools that have appeared to the
right of the 3-D plot as they need to be rewritten as well. In this first
implementation it is not possible to choose to use the java applet
instead.
One added feature is a "load 3-D live" check box that can be used to make
a worksheet load 3-D plots live when the worksheet is opened. For
worksheets with a single interact or only 1-2 plots this should be OK.
*This requires installation of an updated Jmol.spkg. See ticket
[http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/16003 16003].
Sorry for the github commit, but I could not get a notebook branch working
in Sage.
