In theory this could be added to the javascript functions being included with the update to the Jmol interface which is coming with the switch to the new flask notebook, but I'm not sure this is the best solution.
The new interface will include the ability to download a .jmol file to your computer. You can than open it in the Jmol application which is more capable than the applet. One thing you can easily do from the application is produce input for POV-Ray which is the best way of generating nice static 3-D images. I might add that the Jmol .jpg and .png images should be very good if you don't choose too much compression in the application. This is harder to control from the applet.
