Jmol Application window
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 and toolbar (at the top of the window), which offer
    1. File open, export, and 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 panel), 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" or command-line environment.

Starting Jmol Application

Several ways:

  • Double-click on File icon.gifJmol.jar file.
  • Click on a previously created shortcut (Windows terminology) (HowTo).
  • Click on a previously created Start menu entry (Windows terminology) (HowTo).
  • 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 (HowTo).
