Dear Stephane,
The color change commands found in the saved state file are
actually queried from VMD by the save_state.tcl script, using this
code:
set cnum [colorinfo num]
for {set c 0} {$c < $cnum} {incr c} {
set rgb [colorinfo rgb $c]
if {[string compare $rgb [lindex $def_rgb $c]]} {
puts $fildes " color change rgb $c $rgb"
}
}
The code that reads them in uses doubles but converts them
later to floats, here's a snippet from cmd_color.C:
double rr;
if (Tcl_GetDouble(interp, argv[4], &rr) != TCL_OK) {
Tcl_AppendResult(interp, " in color change", NULL);
return TCL_ERROR;
}
r = (float) rr;
This should not be causing any problems for anyone.
Since you mention it at the end of your email, are you having
some sort of intermittent crashing of your VMD sessions??
Which version are you running?
Thanks,
John Stone
