[Tom Goddard]

Hi Fengwei,

  I added the "wobble" command to ChimeraX today that makes a figure 8 motion.  It will be in tonight's ChimeraX builds -- nightly builds are listed at the bottom of the downloads web page.

  The wobble command is just a shorthand for the turn command and the turn command now has two new options: wobble that controls speed and is the number of frames for a complete figure 8, and wobbleAspect that controls the amplitude of the bobbing motion as a fraction of the side to side motion (default 0.3).  The wobble command uses a default cycle of 136 frames per second which at 60 frames/second rendering is a little more than 2 seconds per figure 8.  The wobble command makes the default amplitude 15 degrees.

	Tom
