[Jmol-users] backbone bug - FIXED

[Miguel <mi...@jm...>]

backbone bug which Jan reported is now FIXED.

It respects the 'bondmode' setting of 'and' or 'or'

I don't understand what you mean.

Q: What do you mean by 'extend to both ends' ?

Trace extends to the terminal atoms. Backbone does not do that ... I do
not think it should.

Q: What do you mean by a 'new directed backbone bonds operator' ?
