Molecule3D shapes and isosurfaces

[JonKragskow]

I'm enjoying using the 3D viewer in dash-bio, but I have one question.

Seeming as the 3D viewer is taken from the react wrapper of 3dmol.js, I was wondering why the shapes and isosurface features aren't implemented? It would be really nice to have these available to use in Dash.

Cheers!

Can you please link to a shape and isosurface example in 3dmol.js (such as on CodePen or in their docs)?

Just curious, what kind of Dash apps are you building with the Dash 3dMol component? We're trying to understand the common use cases better as we build out these components.

Sure, their homepage has an example of an isosurface and of shapes on top of a molecule. http://3dmol.csb.pitt.edu/index.html <http://3dmol.csb.pitt.edu/index.html> If you view source on that page you can see the js they use to do both, line 19 to line 72 EDIT: Sorry, didnt see your second question! I'm trying to build an online visualiser for others in my field (quantum chemistry) to use. Basically, I want to generate an isosurface given a set of parameters, then overlay an isosurface onto a specific atom of a molecule. Using dash would be great because it stops the need for downloadable applets and programs, something chemistry is sort of littered with...

With dash-bio-0.7.0 the Molecule3d component now includes support for isosurfaces and basic shapes.
