Re: [Jmol-users] Using the sync command for 3D/stereographic visualization (on a GeoWall)

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

Dean, try http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/syncstereo.htm

I know for your use you need the table cells centered -- some
experimentation there will be necessary.

The new command is:

 sync * stereo

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
