Rotating and zooming reactions

Hi again!





I am importing RXN files into MarvinView 5.1.02. The default behaviour (navmode) is rotate2d, which IMHO is not very nice nor useful for a reaction, as the only rotation centre seems to be the applet centre.


I'd rather rotate each molecule independently, with its own centre.


Same for rotate3d.





Apart from this suggestion/request, I wish to report a problem I experience with the navmode parameter: if I set it to "zoom" or "translate" to override the default behaviour, I can see a different cursor - i.e. the parameter is recognized - but the reaction keeps rotating2d instead of zooming/translating in response to mouse drag.





Any help will be much appreciated.





Best regards,





Rafael

Thanks for the bug report.


Indeed, "navmode" parameter does not work in current Marvin.


We will fix it.

Dear Rafael,





using the "viewnavmode2d" or "viewnavmode3d" parameter should give you the desired behavior even in older versions.


They have the same format as "navmode", e.g. "viewnavmode2d=zoom".





They behave the same as the following public API methods:

http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/help/developer/beans/api/chemaxon/marvin/common/UserSettings.html#setViewNavmode3d(java.lang.String)





We will also add them to the parameter description document.





Kind regards,


Judit
