The program jmol has a command line option to run scripts:
[-script]
. The current syntax is:
jmol [-script {rasmol.script}]
This makes it possible to start jmol with a Rasmol script. The syntax of these scripts is explained in RasMol/Chime Scripts.
Alternatively, jmol can be started with one argument, being a file name:
jmol {file}
In addition to the above command line options there is also one important Java option:
[-Duser.language]
. With this option the GUI language can be set. At this moment these languages are supported: en, es, and nl.
Alternatively, you can also use the LANG environment variable for setting the prefered language. This is common in many UNIX systems, like Linux. However, it is known not to work on Solaris and the above command line option must be used.
The
[-Ddisplay.speed=fps]
option can be used to reporting the display speed in frames per second instead of milliseconds per frame.
With this option you can change the maximum heap size the Java virtual machine can address on Java 1.4 systems. By default this is 64 MB. For large files this might not be enough. Using [-Xmx512m] the heap size is enlarge to half a gigabyte. On older Java systems the syntax of this option is different (see java --help).
