[Jmol-users] extended echo support

[Miguel <mi...@jm...>]

Since Angel asked about fonts, I thought I would also say something about
echo.

The echo command in RasMol allows one to send text to the console. I don't
know where it goes in Chime.

Jmol has some extensions that allow you to send the echo contents to the
viewer display. The text shows up in the same window as the molecule.

There are three lines that can be displayed ... top, middle, and bottom.

Each of these areas can be aligned left, center, or right.

Color and font of each one can be controlled independently.


You control this by saying:

set echo none|off|top|middle|bottom {left|center|right}
echo "some message"
color echo [your-favorite-color]
font echo [fontsize] {serif|sanserif|monospaced}
{plain|bold|italic|bolditalic}

Try this:

set echo top right
font echo 48 monospaced
color echo orchid
echo "arriba"

set echo bottom left
font echo 18 serif bolditalic
color echo pink
echo "abajo"

set echo middle center
font echo 24 sanserif
color echo dodgerblue
echo "centro"
