Sure. > by the way, try it now and notice that the background is now white, > which looks much better. > > Maybe you could think about some of these things: > (1) make the bounding box show up by default I think this should be easy. > (2) make the axes show up by default Easy, though having nice axes might be a bit more work. I'm guessing you're thinking of the "bounding box" style axes, not the x/y/z-axis arrows. > (3) figure out how to get the sizes of things right This is the really hard part, but I've got some ideas. > (4) text in figures > (5) get rid of the "jmol" logo in the lower right > (6) rewrite plot3d to be much more user friendly, i.e., work just > like Mathematica's plot3d. > (7) shading of meshes maybe looks funny? Thoughts. See http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/ticket/1537 This may involve actually getting into the jmol source.

I have no clue how to do this. I don't think embedded applets can be resized--but it's been a long time since I've used java intensively. I'll look into it--perhaps things have changed. That's I think the biggest plus of a floating window. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
