Anyway. I don’t have any great ideas. One possible thing is that you create one or more scenes showing various relevant positions of your structure, with labels, and then save them as an HTML “storyboard”:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/ContributedSoftware/animation/frameanimation.html" class="">http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/ContributedSoftware/animation/frameanimation.html</a> (click on “Storyboard” on the left).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The scenes will be shown as thumbnails across the top, and a larger version of whichever one is chosen will be shown below, complete with labels. Just above the large image will be a “Load 3D Data” button which will allow the scene to be manipulated, just like the WebGL version, though labels will disappear (until the image is reloaded).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Like I said, not great, but maybe it’s something.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Eric</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Eric Pettersen</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>UCSF Computer Graphics Lab</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Aug 25, 2016, at 9:28 AM, McCafferty, Caitlyn (NIH/NEI) [F] <<a href="mailto:caitlyn.mccafferty@nih.gov" class="">caitlyn.mccafferty@nih.gov</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; direction: ltr; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;" class="">Hi Eric, <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you for your quick response.

Well, rotation and scaling at least.
