Summary: measuring angles

Initial Comment:
Hi,

Maybe I am going crazy or misremember things, but I thought that at one point in time one could measure bond angles by clicking the measure icon and then pick three atoms. Currently I seem to only be able to measure bonds (i.e., Jmol thinks I am done picking atoms when I am up to 2 atoms as opposed to 3 for bond angles or 4 for dihedral). I thought you had to 'end' the selection by double clicking on the last atom.

Message:
Not sure whether this relates, but I see picking styles were broken in
11.7.24-11.6.26

In 11.6 it is working properly -- just distances for the icon.

OK, I found it...

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.

-- Josiah Willard Gibbs, Lecture XXX, Monday, February 5, 1900

When I designed the new toolbar look (11.6), I prepared 3 icons for 
measuring distance, angle and dihedral (following Bob's suggestion), 
but then realized that the system is not supporting them.
Maybe it's time to include the three in the toolbar.

There is also an issue: both the measurements icon and the selection 
icon do not deactivate mouse rotation, so highlighting the 3 (5?) 
buttons alternatively is not exactly correct. True that having the 
rotation icon selected does deactivate the others. So it's reasonable 
enough as it is.

Anyway, Rene, you can always use double-click to start and to end 2-, 
3- or 4-atom measurements, without using the toolbar.

We're OK for now. I think if we do anything, we should add to the
measurement table the options to select distance, angle, or torsion.

Question for Angel or Nico or Egon, I think: In the Jmol application, why
doesn't the measurement icon stay shaded after clicking it? I don't see how
this mechanism works, but it seems to me after clicking any one of those
three icons it should stay shaded.
