Re: [Jmol-developers] How do I control Jmol from an external application?

[Benn S. <ben...@gm...>]

I was bashing my head against a wall most of yesterday until I figured out
that JSON strings must be newline terminated for JsonNioService to accept
them.  Now it works - I can send JSON commands from my program to Jmol with
sync on an arbitrary host and port using a little C socket lib I wrote.
Now I'm working on a C++ wrapper class for the functionality I need.  I'll
post code soon, on Github or similar.


Regards,
Benn
