This doc looks very good. Just a few comments ...

Under moveto you say that it is a 'clockwise rotation'. Well, it is a
clockwise rotation if you are looking at it from the origin, in the
direction of the vector.

Perhaps you should say that it is a right-handed rotation ... if your
thumb points in the direction of the vector then your fingers curl in the=

direction of the rotation.

And, I think that the little blue rotation arrow is incorrect. It seems t=
o
me that it is backwards.

moveTo also takes three other (optional) parameters. zoomValue specifies
the final zoom percentage. xTranslation and yTranslation are consistent
with RasMol/Chime ... the range is from -100 to 100.

show orientation will show these numbers.

Do some rotations, zooms, and translations (dbl-click drag) and then say
'show orientation'.
