Hello Jmol-Devel, I'm the project directory of Sage (http://sagemath.org), an open source mathematics software project, which -- among other things -- has a web-browser based graphical interface. See screenshots here:
http://sagemath.org/screen_shots/ After searching for a long time for a good open source option for 3d *interactive* graphics embedded in the Sage notebook it seems that jmol is -- oddly enough -- the best option, even though you guys designed it for chemistry. We've been adapting it for doing general mathematical visualization, and just included it standard in sage-2.9.1, which was released today. We would have liked to use http://www.javaview.de/, but their license is crap (from the point of view of Sage). Thoughts? 1. What is the relation between javaview and jmol? 2. What is the relation between java3d and jmol? 3. Are you aware of jmol being used for applications outside of chemistry? E.g., applications to general mathematical visualization? 4. Do you have any advice as to how jmol could be best used for more general mathematical visualization? We can use/abuse the existing molecular modeling interface, but perhaps we should somehow coordinate with you and modify jmol itself to have more general functionality? 5. Viewing examples here: http://www.javaview.de/demo/index.html Do you think we can do as good -- or better -- then they do, but using jmol? MANY MANY thanks for the huge amount of work you have all put into creating a very powerful easy-to-use and flexible 3d visualization toolkit! -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
