[Qt frontend] Show the distance between atoms when two atoms are selected in the "Atoms" view

Open yurivict opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

It's natural to ask what is the distance between two atoms. Vipster should display the distance (for example under the "Atoms" list) when two atoms are selected.

Thanks for your rigorous testing. Distances, angles and dihedrals are provided by the "Selected Atoms" widget. Any suggestion on how to make this more visible?

This wasn't obvious. Thanks!

You can make the "Selected Atoms" menu item enabled when 2+ atoms are selected, and disabled when 0 or 1 atoms are selected. It doesn't show anything useful when just one atom is selected anyway.
