RasMol

RasMol Menu:

RasMol defaults: At the bottom of the "Output panel"--window you can find the "RasMol defaults"--button. Pressing it opens the "RasMol Defaults"--window:

CaGe is able to store some default values for RasMol e.g background color. The values are stored for each generation program seperatly ! Choose some values by the slides and the checkbuttons. Use the "Show"--button to send these values to RasMol. You can save the new default values or load the old values with the "Reset"--button.

Command Line Interface:You can use all options and commands of RasMol via the Command Line Interface. Let us look at one example.
You select the HCgen generation program and choose 60 C-Atoms 10 H-Atoms and 5 Pentagons. In your xterm the following lines will appear :

bash$ cage
