Re: [Jmol-users] 'color group' and RasMol/Chime compatibility

[Eric M. <em...@mi...>]

Thanks very very much, Miguel, for making the choices so well organized and 
clear.

I vote for 3C (or 3B OK as second choice).

Among 1A, 2A, 3A, I prefer option 3A. Reasoning:
   Option 1 is similar to RasMol/Chime (R/C) and is not very satisfactory.
   Option 2 or 3 is how I wish R/C behaved.
   Option 3 is more flexible -- it can generate an option 2 result if 
desired based on what is selected before coloring is applied.

Among A, B, C, I prefer C (B also OK).

However, it might be useful to have an option for 3A as well as 3B/C; the 
latter would be the default, but if you want to see if there are sequence 
numbering irregularities, 3A could be quite useful.

Reasoning for 3C:
Coloring by chain will make polymer vs. chain issues obvious, I think.
Therefore, we don't need an option to 'color group' by chain; 'color group' 
can always color polymers. (It's a little hard to be sure without having 
some experience with these exciting new capabilities.)
