[Biojava-l] 3D viewing?

[Andreas Prlic]

Hi Egon!

I am the person who contributed the biojava - structure classes. As it 
turns out I am a very happy Jmol user already for quite a while now!  
:-)

Using both Biojava and Jmol I am working on a 3D - DAS (distributed 
annotation system) client to visualize annotations of proteins in both 
sequence and structure.

To interact between Biojava and Jmol I use the Biojava code to create a 
PDB file and use this file as an input to Jmol.

Some docu how to incorporate Jmol into another application can be found 
at
http://wiki.jmol.org/ApplicationsEmbeddingJmol

As far as I know the JavaDoc relates to the last public release, which 
did not contain the structure classes.  Guess it is really time to make 
a new biojava release!

Greetings,
Andreas
