==Using Jmol's Command Language== | |||
[[Jmol]] has an extensive and powerful command language<ref name="jmol-commands">Documentation for Jmol's command language is available from [http://jmol.org Jmol.Org]. An overview is at [http://jmol.sourceforge.net/docs/ jmol.org/docs], and additional coverage of specific topics is at the [http://wiki.jmol.org Jmol Wiki]. The command reference manual is at [http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/ chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/].</ref>. Users interested in learning the command language can use it within the ''Scene Authoring Tools''. | |||
* Edit the page, and ''Show'' the Molecular Scene Authoring Tools. | |||
* Click on the ''Jmol'' frank within the Jmol applet (lower right from the molecule). | |||
* In Jmol's ''Main Menu'', click on ''Console''. | |||
You can enter commands in the Console. Once you get a scene that you like, save it in the normal way. It doesn't matter how a scene is obtained in Jmol -- it is saved as a ''state script'' which reflects the state of Jmol regardless of the path used to arrive at that state. | |||
The ''Undo'' button below Jmol in the ''Scene Authoring Tools'' is very useful when you want to undo a command entered via Jmol's Console. | |||
It is also possible to import scenes from other Jmol websites, using a state script. See, for example, [[Help:Copying FirstGlance Scenes into Proteopedia]]. | |||
