Re: [Jmol-users] jmolScriptWait() and jmolEvaluate()

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

I think you have to be careful not to call JmolScriptWait from a script that
is already running from a callback message. Not sure if that's the case
here, but are you sure you need JmolScriptWait? I can't remember what the
context is of this. What is invoking this script?

Unrelated to this, you can just use

       atomInBox = {select ((1.1 or 2.1) and within(boundbox))}

instead of

       select ((1.1 or 2.1) and within(boundbox)); define atomInBox
selected;

That way you have a Jmol variable, not a defined set of atoms. I guess it's
a little different.

I don't see that JavaScript call working for any browser, unless you for the
purposes of Email broke up those lines. In JavaScript you would need to
escape the line terminations using "\":

jmolScriptWait("\
       boundbox {@centerX, @centerY, @centerZ} {@boxSizeX/2 @boxSizeY/2
@boxSizeZ/2};\
        if (boundboxFlag==1){boundbox ON; axes DOTTED; axes SCALE 3;
}else{axes Off; boundbox off; };\
       select ((1.1 or 2.1) and within(boundbox)); define atomInBox
selected;\
       select ((1.1 or 2.1) and within(group, within(boundbox)))\
");
