Missing residues

[nezix]

Some residues at the beginning and at the end of the chains are missing in the mesh.

If you compare a cartoon mesh from pymol/VMD/avogadro... and the mesh created by ribbon.go, you can see that some parts are missing.

For example :

Beginning of the chain:

End of the chain

Good catch!

I pulled up the code and look what I found: https://github.com/fogleman/ribbon/blob/master/ribbon/ribbon.go#L286

I can look into it.

What are you doing with the code? I'm excited to see someone else using it!

:D
I am working on UnityMol (https://twitter.com/n3zix & https://twitter.com/unitymol).
At the beggining I was looking for some open source code that I could use in that project to create cartoon meshes. It turns out there are a lot of open code in javascript but usually messy / hard to understand & maintain.
Your cartoons are polished and the code is understandable so I am translating your code to C# to integrate it in Unity if you are ok with it.
Next step might be to speed things up to compute meshes efficiently.

Thank you for taking a look !
