Glad you like it.

"request...", which is nonintuitive. I understand if that step is
necessary, but the message could be better; as it is, the person using it
wouldn't necessarily realize that this would give mesh etc. info for each
object (nice to do it separately, so so so nice).

You are correct that I could not originally get the information from Jmol
on load because of timing issues. I have an idea about this and will work
on it a little. In the meantime, I think you are correct that we need
better instructions in this tab.
> Colorpicker in Functions tab: awesome.
We use it for other Jmol stuff, but it was originally inspired by the
needs of SAGE.

but is a little on the small side for normal laptop/PC web browsing. Can
the browsing thing be detected for this?

I believe we can get the surrounding window size. I will look into that.
Maybe it should default to no more than 405 of width or height, whichever
is higher?

actual graphic. Would it be possible to put that stuff below the image as
opposed to on the right? In fact, that stuff should not necessarily
resize with the graphic...

I can play with the table formatting a little. I don't see any problems
off the top of my head with it not resizing. I think underneath is a
problem as the applet can be big enough that the controls will be off
screen.
> State is cool for those of us who might want to access it, but it should
default (when clicked upon) to creating a slider or something, or "click
here for full" or something like that. Otherwise the potential for really
upsetting work flow is there, it changes the window size so much.

Eventually I want it hidden. But I think I can set it up to be
scrolling....

less \texttt{}-ish. Note that "Arbitrarily resizable in own window Get
static image to save" looks like one command; maybe some <ul></ul> useful
here?

Good!

That is likely to be a SAGE python bug as Jmol just draws lines where SAGE
tells it to. I will double check the parsing, but since the axes look
correct for everything I've tried, I'm guessing something funny is passed
to Jmol.

the next week or two.

recomputation with 'small', which is great.
This is because I switched to using the incrementally loaded applet. Thus
only the parts needed are loaded. This significantly reduces load time.
However

[null] is not an object.

Obviously, other things don't stay the same with an interact - say if I
change one function to green, it goes back to blue after moving the
slider, but there shouldn't be the error message (ideally).

Is that completely reproducible? I've seen it occasionally when
javascript gets executed before the applets are completely loaded.
However, I've never seen any ill effects since things get reset later. If
it causes problems and you can pin it down, let me know.
Thanks for the initial testing.
