Nico,

Excellent. Then this will be fun.

Right now we have

(Viewer myViewer).getProperty("atomInfo")
(Viewer myViewer).getProperty("bondInfo")
(Viewer myViewer).getProperty("modelInfo")
(Viewer myViewer).getProperty("chainInfo")
(Viewer myViewer).getProperty("polymerInfo")

which all return Hashtable objects.
You can explore what they produce at

I realize they are not optimal. I'm trying to think of ways to
make them more usable. With atomInfo and bondInfo you can specify an 
atom set. I'm suspecting that for the povray, we should actually 
create one called "povrayInfo"

Why don't you outline a data structure, and I'll fill it in.

Bob
