Hi.

Perhaps you could achive this through TCL scripting alone?
Take a look at the
rotate_display<http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/script_library/scripts/rotate_display>
 and view_change_render<http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/script_library/scripts/view_change_render>
scripts
in the script library <http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/script_library/> as
well as the translate<http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/current/ug/node147.html>and
rotate <http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/current/ug/node143.html>
commands in the user guide <http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/current/ug>.
A basic knowledge of TCL scripting here is a must. You can send commands to
VMD using a TCP socket with the attached script. I use "uplevel 1 {my tcl
commands}, so that variable definitions and the like persist between two
sent commands.

Best regards,
Ajasja
