Re: [Jmol-users] Drawing a circle

[Latévi M. L. D. <max...@un...>]

Many thanks, Bob, for your answers.

I am especially interested in drawing a ring. But I think that,
ideally, both possibilities should be made available.
(We can readily draw the edges of polyhedra. In a equivalent
manner, this would also allow one to draw the ring that delimits
a filled-in circle).

All the best,
Max
