You could register a function to trace the vmd animation frame to compute and apply a fitting zoom value through the trajectory similar to http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/script_library/scripts/sscache/. Regarding DrawMolecule.C a fitting scale value can be computed as 1.5/max(size(x),size(y),size(z)). You might want to compute the size of your molecule by only using heavy atoms to achieve some kind of smoothing.
Good luck

Betreff: Re: vmd-l: Define the percentage of zoom
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, VMD does not do that. What I meant was by the user; for example, an unintentional scrolling the wheel button of the mouse. I want to fix the zoom level/percentage throughout the trajectory.
I think you are right: "an orthographic projection so that size/distance relationships are preserved".
So, in the orthographic output image, the same atom with VDW style will always look the same size, for instance.
How can I apply this setting?
Bests

Hi,
It's not entirely clear what you're talking about when you refer to
"unwanted zooming". VMD doesn't do any time-varying zooming
by itself as a trajectory plays. Perhaps what you're after is
to use an orthographic projection so that size/distance relationships
are preserved throughout a trajectory movie regardless how close
parts of the structure are to the camera?
Cheers,
John Stone
