Suggestions from Eric Martz
- In every article titled with a single PDB id code, a link to (for a random case) "Explore 2ace" that goes to FirstGlance in Jmol. The link syntax is http://bioportal.weizmann.ac.il/oca-docs/fgij/fg.htm?mol=2ace.
- Quality (antialiasing) chosen by the user with "toggle quality" should remain in effect for all green links within that page. Imagine that you're projecting scenes to a class. Currently, with every new scene, you have to click "toggle quality" again to get high quality.
- When saving a scene (in the "save scene" dialog), a radio button to choose between "force spinning on", "force spinning off", "inherit spinning set by the user with 'toggle spinning'".
- Support two Jmols side by side, for comparisons.
- Synchronize mouse-directed rotations and zooms (this now works amazingly well, see Chapter 4 in the Demo Tutorial at http://bioinformatics.org/jmol-tutorials -- where by the way you can also see "toggle quality" working very clearly -- my links are labeled "smoother rotation" and "smoother graphics" to the lower left of Jmol).
- Provide a mechanism for one green link that sends separate scripts to each Jmol simultaneously. Maybe not necessary? Just use two green links? What is cool is to start with scenes that align the two molecules. Then they stay aligned as you rotate/zoom with the mouse (provided spin is left off at the beginning -- when it is on, one molecule tends to lag behind the other).
