Not sure why it didn't show up at sage-support... but anyway, here is
an email from Wayne Decatur about this issue.  Anyone (Jason?) know if
this is something we can take advantage of in our Jmol installation?


We have a very outdated version of jmol. Jonathan Gutow (a jmol developer) has been working a lot on updating jmol in Sage and integrating it better into Sage (for which we are *very* grateful!); he responded to some message about this in the last few days and pointed to the URL that contains his current work.

I know he's been busy for the last month or two, but he might have time to work more on this now.

I've CCd Jonathan.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Dox and kcrisman,

I saw your post when searching for posts about Jmol for the
Proteopedia twitter account.

Do you actually need the viewing 'angle' or are you just hoping to be
able to open it again in the exact view or send that view to someone?

Either way, the recent Jmol versions save that information when you
save the state, and in fact you can look at that in the state in the
jmol console and save and then reload. The most recent version in fact
saves the exact view and data all in png format that you can drag and
drop in the application or signed apple. I saw Bob Hanson demonstrate
it at UMass a couple weeks ago. It is noted at
http://www.mail-archive.com/jmol-us...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg14290.html,
although the full majesty of it is not readily apparent from the post.
You sort of have to see it to see in action. The goal is to be able to
save one file and be able to send it to someone and have them open it
with the exact view for which it was saved.

But if you don't have the most recent Jmol, look into saving the stare
script and pasting it back in and running it.

Dear Dox,

I don't know that you can do it via Jmol, but perhaps via Tachyon.

sage: sage.plot.plot3d.tachyon?

I imagine that looking more in depth at the Tachyon documentation (not
just the result of the above command) might help you more.  I am sorry
that I don't know the answer to this, though.

I am copying this on sage-support, which is a more appropriate forum
for it.

Hi guys!
I was wandering... Is it possible to choose the `angle of viewing' a
3D plot at the time of saving it?
Thank you.
