MP invites onlookers to interact by rotating the structure at any time. Therefore, scripts should be designed to permit rotation as much as possible. Furthermore, it may be desirable for the user-set orientation to remain while the script proceeds, perhaps all the way to the end of the script. For example, a ''moveto'' command precludes rotation until the specified orientation is completed. In the version of Jmol currently used in Proteopedia (11.8.9 in December, 2009), ''zoomto'' commands also enforce the current orientation, "fighting" with the onlooker who attempts rotation during the timed zoomto. Therefore, the support script provided for MP includes a function ''zoomRotatableTo()'' that performs the zoom while permitting rotation. | MP invites onlookers to interact by rotating the structure at any time.
