[Jmol-users] restore the state of the applet from a php page to another via jmolGetPropertyAsString("stateInfo") -- how can I know which atoms belong to which frames?

[Daniel C. <dan...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,
I have a problem I really have no idea how to solve... some of you might
remember some time ago I was struggling to restore a Jmol session from a
php page in another php page, and at the end, and thanks to your help, I
was able to do so using jmolGetPropertyAsString("stateInfo") and passing it
as a hidden value in a php form.
I succeeded with it, but now I find a small problem. Before I just loaded
in the applet a protein native structure and homology models of such
structure, and when parsing the state obtained
with jmolGetPropertyAsString("stateInfo") I had the following lines:

function _setModelState() {

  structure none ({1303:2612})     # model=2.1;
...
  structure none ({2613:3922})     # model=3.1;
...


These lines are crucial for me as parsing them I know which atoms belong to
each frame (protein loaded); Frame 1.1 would be 0:1302.


However, now, instead of loading a native protein and its homology models,
I am creating another page that loads a single model and the templates used
to build it (structures that can be so different among them), and when
getting the previous state via jmolGetPropertyAsString("stateInfo") and a
php form (exactly the same way), I find the opposite, only the line for 1.1

structure none ({0:1309})     # model=1.1;


This way I cannot know which atoms belong to the other proteins loaded 2.1,
3.1... I did a work around guessing the atoms that belong to each of the
frames extracting them from the lines

select ({3263:4711});
color atoms opaque [xffff00];

or

select ({3263:4711});
Cartoon on;



but this doesn't always work, since there are cases I allow the user to
color structures by property instead of only one color, and also when the
loaded structures are all in the same display (e.g.: all in trace); so in
an example like the one below I have no way to guess which atoms belong to
which frame:

function _setModelState() {

  structure none ({0:1309})     # model=1.1;
...
  select ({318:322 324 337 339 342:347 369 370 372 415:417 420 427 428 431
1310 1311 1314:1316 1321:1323 1578 1580 1582 1858 1860:1863 1886:1889 1893
1894 1897 1898 19
00 1922:1927 1958 1960 4153:4155 4157 4175:4179 4182 4183 4185 4205 4207});
  color atoms opaque [xff00ff];
...
  select ({0:4539});
  Trace on;


No lines for frames 2.1 and 3.1; each structure doesn't have a single
color, they are colored by property, and they neither have a distinctive
display, all are in trace...

So my questions are: How can I know to which frame an atom belongs parsing
the output of jmolGetPropertyAsString("stateInfo")? Can I control somehow
when the lines "structure none ....# model = ..." appear??

Thanks a lot,
Daniel
