[Jmol-developers] new script command: animate

[Miguel <mt...@mt...>]

I just checked in code for a new scripting command to support animation.

This script command supports simple animation/playing of multiple-frame
chemfiles in both the application and the applet.

The basic script command is called animate. The full list of implemented
commands is:
  animate rewind       // rewinds to frame 0
  animate play         // plays one time
  animate revplay      // plays in reverse
  animate next         // advance to next frame - stop at last frame
  animate prev         // back to previous frame - stop at frame 0
  animate nextwrap     // advance to next frame - wrap around to frame 0
  animate prevwrap     // back to previous frame - wrap around to last frame
  animate frame N      // go to a specific frame number

The frame rate of the play/revplay commands is currently limited by:
 1. as fast as the machine can render the frames
 2. but no faster than 10 frames/second
In the future we will presumably want more controls on this.

There is currently no support for interpolated frames.

There is currently no support for vibrations.
