==Overview== | |||
The ''Scene authoring tools'' are meant to make scene management easier and to make scene creation easier. Scenes are "frozen" moments in Jmol that can be later restored. A scene stores viewpoint, representations, colors, labels, and generally everything that is necessary to recreate the way things looked when the scene was saved. | |||
The steps of using the ''Scene authoring tools'' are as follows: | |||
#Either load an existing scene using the 'load scene' tab, or start fresh with the 'load molecule' tab. | |||
#Manipulate the scene view using the mouse. Change the scene appearance by choosing selections from your scene using the 'selections' tab and setting the appearance of selections using the 'representations', 'colors' and 'labels' tabs. | |||
#Save the scene using the 'save scene' tab, and wikitext for inserting the scene into a Proteopedia page will be automatically generated. | |||
So the idea is to begin by either loading an existing scene, or by loading a molecule. Once something is loaded onto the Jmol applet, you can begin to change the viewpoint, the representations, the colors, the labels, and other settings, in order to create a scene that conveys your desired message. When you're done creating the scene, you save it and then put it into the page. | |||
