Hi Thomas, Thanks for pointing this out. The implementation is kind of in the "shake-down cruise" stage and could have some problems initially. This was one of them. Fixed now (in next daily build). I increased the ellipse thickness from 0.001 angstroms to 0.01, so the visibility is better. The size factor affects the other two dimensions, not the thickness. Let me know of any other problems you run into, or improvements you'd like to see. --Eric On Dec 18, 2009, at 1:07 AM, Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Mitterfellner wrote:

#7448: show axes/major ellipses for thermal ellipsoids

Thanks for the implementation of this feature! There's just one thing: the major ellipses are displayed very thinly. The ellipse size factor does not seem to change the size of the ellipses (I supposed them to become larger than the ellipsoid with increased scaling factor so that they extend beyond the surface). Can the thickness or the size of the major ellipses be altered?
