[Jmol-users] more for Jmol 11.1.12

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

Crystallography-interested Jmol users:

I was talking with a friend today who wanted to make a tetrahedral stack 
of Face-centered-cubic atoms and had an idea. Why not make it so that 
you can select atoms based on distance to an arbitrary plane? So, after 
some work, this is now part of Jmol 11.1.12. For example:

draw plane1 (atomno=1) (atomno=2) (atomno=3);draw off
display within(2.0, plane, $plane1) # within 2 Angstroms of one side of 
the plane
display within(-2.0, plane, $plane1) # same for the other side

select within(0, plane, xy});color green # in the xy plane
select within(0, plane, x=3);spacefill 1.0 # like it says

display within(999, plane, {0 1 1 3}) # on one side of plane y + z + 3 = 0
display within(0, hkl, {1/3 1/3 1/3}) # in the plane using Miller indices
