Re: [Jmol-users] Getting shape infomation

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

Steven, yes, we need another book on this as well.

Look in

http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/misc/

for the shapeInfo.txt file. It should lay out what the format is of 
those objects. Also, with the latest Jmol you can explore these things 
by using from the console:

print getProperty("shapeInfo")

But that won't get you what you want, I think. Closer might be

print getProperty("polymerInfo")

I don't think we are exposing that stuff, though. You might be able to 
decipher it from

 print getProperty("stateInfo","modelState")

No, right now it's just the end points.
