I wasn't able to find an explicit email to contact you, so I hope this finds you. I've been recently turned on to Avogadro; naturally, your name and work have popped up several times. I have a question about rotation.
Suppose I have some molecule in the viewing window. In the bottom left hand corner is a set of axes. I wish to rotate the molecule in a specific way. For instance, a rotation of exactly 90 degrees about the x-axis. I can't seem to figure this out; all I can do is try my best with the navigation tool.
Hi Neil, my email addresses seem to be spread all over, but looking around you are right - I don't have anything on here. You can always use marcus [at] cryos dot org and it will find me.
What you mention is programatically easy, and should be possible using the Python bindings. I always intended to add a user interface to the navigation tool to accomplish this. I will try to make time to add this, but it will be in the 1.1/1.2 line.
