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

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

I published my C++ Jmol wrapper and C socket helpers on github, since they
will be a part of the larger project which will be published there
eventually.  I've licensed them under the permissive MIT license and I
welcome you to include them in Jmol however you see fit.
https://github.com/piedar/molect

The code which handles input from the Kinect is not yet published, but will
probably be under GPL when it is.


Now for a Jmol question:
If I have a scene with multiple distinct molecules, how can I select an
arbitrary molecule for rotation/translation?


Regards,
Benn
