Re: [Jmol-developers] java to javascript conversion

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

Kent, this is not an easy thing at all to describe. Basically a lot of
customization was done. I have now converted two other programs (JSpecView
and AztexViewer)  The first took *me* a month, and the second took 10 days.
So I am getting better at it, but it is no simple task to describe how it
is done. If you have any GUI, it's probably not possible at this point.
I've got that somewhat set up, but it is quite primitive.
