Ogg: [Jmol-users] JSmol nearly fully functional



Update on JavaScript and Jmol:

JavaScript/HTML5-only Jmol ("JSmol") is now nearly fully functional. Demonstration is at http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jsmol/test2.htm


We still need to work on file loading, animation, minimization, spinning, and vibration, but pretty much all the rest is there. We have full translucency, surfaces (including molecular orbitals and contacts), text, antialiasing, SMILES/SMARTS searching, direct database calling, and scripting just like for standard Jmol (because it IS Jmol). Performance is slower, of course, but considering the overall capabilities, that might be a reasonable trade-off in most applications. All without WebGL. So that means it's fully compatible on all platforms with reasonably modern browsers (having HTML5). We still need to work on the WebGL version, because that offers some speed advantages, for sure, though also some different limitations, I think, such as platform incompatibility.
