Re: [Jmol-developers] drawing ribbons

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

Neither of these solutions is impossible. I propose we implement the
second -- a ribbon associated with carbohydrates. Jmol already identifies
chains of carbohydrates and can show a trace through the anomeric carbon
atoms. What is needed to make ribbons would be to identify the second
atom. This could be easy or difficult, depending upon how that is defined.
Can you tell us what you would use to define the ribbon? Once we have
that, it is possible that this could be implemented very easily.
