Each XMol application resource also has a corresponding command-line option. A value given in a command-line option will override a value given through resources. If you wish to try out a new value for one of these variables temporarily, use the command-line option form. The following table lists XMol's application resources and their default values. The corresponding command-line options have the same names.
Full descriptions follow the tables.
The default timeout interval is 15 minutes. Setting this value to 0 turns off the auto-timeout feature and lets animations run without stop. If an input datafile doesn't contain bond information, XMol automatically tries to deduce bond information from the types and locations of a molecule's atoms. Specifically, for each pair of atoms, the square of the distance between them is computed. These two values are then compared.
