This gives a very cinematic dimension which looks quite spectacular, and is useful for animations of long skinny structures such as peptides, particularly on a page with multiple applets. The initial zoom setting is based on the smaller of the two dimensions,so the default zoom appears tiny, and an initial zoom of 5000, the maximum, is reqiured to fit the structure of window. It would be great if there were a way to override/adjust the initial zoom scale.

In the present case, the pdb file contains a large protein and I am focussing in on a relatively short section of it. If I edit the file to remove the rest of the protein, the default range of the zoom is much more appropriate. That is, I can obtain a good display using an initial zoom in the 400 range. However if I were interested in showing other sections of the protein later in the animation, this would not be a great solution. The applet would have to be reloaded with another truncated pdb file. I am not sure how often this is likely to arise. Miguel, I am not sure that you got my last comment so I changed the "assignment" pull-down back to your name, hope this was OK. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: friedar (friedar) Date: 2005-02-06 14:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1190355 Miguel said: >Are you proposing that the default scaling >be based upon the larger of the two >dimensions instead of the smaller? >Do you want a new argument to zoom? Well, I was thinking that either one would work. I didn't want to assume that all authors would use rectangular applets the way that I am now, but for my purposes, altering the default to scale to the larger of the two dimensions would answer very well. For authors that don't have this type of use in mind, and don't issue rotational commands that position the molecule to take advantage of the larger dimension, I suppose it might seem strange. So if altering the default is too pervasive then some sort of "set" command that would get Jmol to use the larger dimension would be fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Miguel (migueljmol) Date: 2005-02-05 22:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1050060 OK ... so how would you want to change things? Are you proposing that the default scaling be based upon the larger of the two dimensions instead of the smaller? Do you want a new argument to zoom? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Egon Willighagen (egonw) Date: 2005-02-04 20:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=25678 Ummm... for clarity: 200 = 800/300 * 100% :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Egon Willighagen (egonw) Date: 2005-02-04 20:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=25678 You can use the zoom command for that. See http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/docs/ For the window ratio given above it should be: zoom 267 (where 267 = 800/300) Egon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=379133&aid=1116453&group_id=23629 |
