File:Toolbar.png‎

  1. Open file: allows to browse and choose a file from disk or to type a URL where the file is to be found.
  2. Export image: saves to disk the current view as an image, in one of several possible file formats.
  3. Export to web page: opens the Jmol Export to Web application.(1,2)
  4. Export to POV-Ray: saves high-quality image files that can be opened and edited in the ray-tracing software POV-Ray.
  5. Save state: saves the current view to disk as a state script (a file that Jmol can read back to regenerate the view).
  6. Print: sends the current view to the printer.

This group contains mutually exclusive options:

  1. Rotate mode: dragging the mouse will rotate the model (default).
  2. Select mode: several atoms can be selected by surrounding them with a rectangle drawn using the mouse pointer while holding the Shift key.
  3. Measurement mode: clicking on 2 atoms will display the distance between them.
  4. Center mode: the model will be recentered around the atom clicked.
  5. Model Kit mode: allows to build a model by adding atoms and bonds using the mouse.
  1. Reset: restores the initial orientation and zoom of the model.
  2. First frame: displays the first one among the loaded models.
  3. Previous frame -
  4. Next frame -
  5. Last frame -
  6. All frames: overlays all models present in the loaded file(s).
