Slider controls for Jmol
Version (A)
This has an amazing look-and-feel. Uses javascript and Walter Zorn's Drag'n'Drop & DHTML Library, © Walter Zorn under GNU LGPL.
See it in action.
Steps to follow:
- Download Walter Zorn's library from http://www.walterzorn.com/dragdrop/dragdrop_e.htm (You need the
wz_dragdrop.jsfile.) - Get a copy of the image files,
track.gifand
sliderthumb.gif. You could use your own, but size is important since the code is related to it. - Your webpage should load
JSmol.min.js, defineInfoand insert themyJmolobject. - Include this code in your webpage:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* Uses Walter Zorn's Drag'n'Drop & DHTML Library (GNU LGPL).
Integration with Jmol by Angel Herráez.
*/
function slabSlider() {
jmolScript( 'slab ' + eval(100-(20+dd.elements.thumb.x-dd.elements.thumb.defx)) )
document.getElementById("posi").innerHTML = 100-(20+dd.elements.thumb.x-dd.elements.thumb.defx)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="wz_dragdrop.js"></script>
<input type="button" value="prepare for slabbing"
onClick='Jmol.script(myJmol, "spin off; slab on; slab 80;");
document.getElementById("posi").innerHTML="80";
dd.elements.thumb.moveTo(dd.elements.track.x+20, dd.elements.track.y); '>
<br>
<img name="track" src="track.gif" width="104" height="29" alt="" title="" align="absmiddle">
<img name="thumb" src="sliderthumb.gif" width="18" height="29" alt="" title="move me" align="absmiddle">
<span id="posi">80</span>%
<br>
<input type="button" value="cancel slabbing"
onClick='Jmol.script(myJmol, "slab off;")'>
<script type="text/javascript">

*/
SET_DHTML("thumb"+MAXOFFLEFT+20+MAXOFFRIGHT+80+HORIZONTAL,"track"+NO_DRAG)
dd.elements.thumb.moveTo(dd.elements.track.x+20, dd.elements.track.y);
dd.elements.thumb.setZ(dd.elements.track.z+1);
dd.elements.track.addChild("thumb");
dd.elements.thumb.defx = dd.elements.track.x+20;
dd.elements.thumb.setDragFunc(slabSlider);
//dd.elements.thumb.setDropFunc(slabSlider); //alternative, if it cannot cope with the other
</script>
</body>
Important notes:
- You must adjust the path to
wz_dragdrop.jsaccording to your set-up. - The order of the code element in the above example is crucial. In particular, wz_dragdrop.js must be included in the body, not in the head, for some browsers. Also, the block starting with SET_DHTML(...) must follow the block that displays the slider itself on the page.
Version (B)
This looks excellent too, and has some more versatility. Uses javascript, CSS and WebFX Slider, © Erik Arvidsson under Apache Software License.
See instructions and several examples here, applied to slabbing, bond thickness, translucency, ribbon width and thickness.
