Introduction

This manual, along with the User's Guide and Installation Guide, document the use of JMV.

This guide is designed to aid users who are interested in modifying or extending the current implementation of JMV. This manual is organized into the following chapters following this introduction:

• Modifying the applet parameters
  When using JMV as an applet, you can set certain parameters to control the applet's appearance. You can disable certain features, or have the molecule screen appear in a separate window. You can also customize default parameters that the applet will use when it starts, such as the molecule it displays, and the color and representation.

• Adding a new feature
  JMV uses Java Beans to communicate information between the menu and the molecule window. Here, we provide instructions on how to add a new bean to JMV.

• Javadocs
  Java has a program to generate Javadocs, documentation describing classes, their functions, and their members. Here, we tell you how to access JMV's Javadocs.
