Jmol Application

Jmol Application

"Jmol Application" is the version of Jmol that runs as a standalone program, in its own window, thanks to Java programming language.

Control of the molecular model is gained through several means:

1. The mouse (documented in Mouse Manual).
2. The application's menu (bar at the top of the window), which offers
   1. File Open, Export, Print functionalities.
   2. A limited set of selection and rendering options, and several tools.
3. The pop-up menu (context menu, right-click on the model space or click on Jmol logo at lower-right), which offers most funcionality available and is identical to applet menu.
4. The scripting language (same used by the applet); this is available through the File > Script... menu, which opens a "script console", a command-line environment.

Starting Jmol Application

Several ways:

• Double-click on Jmol.jar file.
• Click on a previously created shortcut (Windows terminology).
• Click on a previously created Start menu entry (Windows terminology).
• Execute one of the batch files/shell scripts that are part of Jmol distribution (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Unix).
• From the command line: java -jar Jmol.jar (of course, issued from the folder/directory where Jmol.jar is, or else pointing to it with a full path).
• Double-click on a molecular coordinates file whose extension has been previously associated to Jmol.
