Re: [Jmol-users] Prerelease 10.9.63

[Bob H. <ha...@st...>]

Thanks, Nico. The comment regarding save/restore selection is a bit 
vague. Here's a better one:


save/restore selection
----------------------

Jmol 10.9.63 allows saving and restoring of the current selection set
across file load boundaries. Note that this is slightly different from 
"define" because those selections are reset every time a model is loaded.

save/restore selection should be used with care, because the list of atoms that
are "carbon" for one molecule may not be the same as the list of atoms
that are "carbon" for another, and only the list of atoms is saved, not
the fact that they were carbons. For best results, limit the use of this 
command to situations where you are loading the same molecule -- using load "" --
not some other molecule, unless you have a good reason to do otherwise.


load caffeine.xyz;selectionHalos on
select _C; save selection X
# now move the model around
save orientation X
load "";restore orientation X 1;restore selection 
X;selectionHalos on
