[Jmol-users] Jmol Bond Tolerance

[Nick G. <ngr...@li...>]

>
Is it possible to change the default bond tolerance so that bonds are =20=

shown (or not) as required? In the Java app version of Jmol this is =20
achieved by a slider but I don't know if the web based version can be =20=

controlled in this way.

Perhaps a parameter with a value 0-1 =C5 as in the app??

All the best
