[Jmol-users] auto-orientation - a different viewpoint

2010-02-17 Thread Richard Steane
Hello all I have found this procedure useful: load a molecule re-orientate it to suit my point of view menushoworientation then use the moveto data in a script (on a web page). On loading, the molecule then orientates itself and shows the user that the image is not fixed. Example :

To follow up on my question from last week concerning auto-orientation, Rolf Huehne very graciously pointed me in the direction of a solution that he had already crafted for JenaLib. He uses the dimensions of the bounding box, selected for the atoms of interest, and arrays the longest two vectors

I am doing the same: all atoms in the unique asymmetric unit - sans solvent - are considered to be the atoms of interest on file loading (even though in the background I am loading with the packed cell). I have a second implementation of orient on the GUI that takes and utilizes the current

Dear Tom, one example resides inside Ortep-3 for Windows, a software used in the crystallographic community to display the structural models. The software reads both (but not only) data stored in *.cif and *.pdb data format. Its view menu allows the display of several frequently
