SPICE - docu - arguments

It is possible to send arguments to the dynamic scripts that can be used to launch SPICE. Two such scripts are available:

showspice.jsp - launches spice, but displays a documentation page first, to explain what is going to happen. (recommended way how to link to spice)
runspice.jsp - the actual .jsp page the creates the Java Web Start file that is used to lauch SPICE

Both pages understand the following arguments:

pdb	Start SPICE with a PDB accession code. Either pdb or uniprot argument is mandatory.
uniprot	Start SPICE with a UniProt accession code. Either pdb or uniprot argument is mandatory.
display	lauch SPICE with a unique id of a DAS sources, as provided by the DAS registration server. e.g. DS_109 - the UniProt DAS source. Also accepts a >;< separated list of IDs.
displayLabel	display all DAS sources that have been registered with a particular Label. Also accepts a >;< separated list of labels.
rasmolScript	send a rasmol-script to spice. Everything supported by Jmol is allowed here. The script is only applied to the first structure that is being loaded.
displayMessage	display a text message at startup
displayMessage	display a text message at startup
displayMessageWidth	allows to specify the width of the message.
displayMessageHeight	allows to specify the height of the message.
seqSelectStart	select a sequence region - start position in sequence coordinates
seqSelectEnd	select a sequence region - end position in sequence coordinates
pdbSelectStart	select a region on the structure only - in PDB resnum coordinates
pdbSelectEnd	select a region on the structure only - in PDB resnum coordinates

All arguments need to be urlencoded: for help on url encoding e.g. look at http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm

Examples

http://das.sanger.ac.uk/registry/showspice.jsp?pdb=1boi http://das.sanger.ac.uk/registry/showspice.jsp?pdb=1boi
enable/disable DAS sources through external startup link:

http://das.sanger.ac.uk/registry/showspice.jsp?pdb=1boi&display=DS_109; http://das.sanger.ac.uk/registry/showspice.jsp?pdb=1boi&display=DS_109;
displays the aristotle DAS server (by unique ID from DAS -registration server)

http://das.sanger.ac.uk/registry/showspice.jsp?pdb=1boi&displayLabel=BioSapiens; http://das.sanger.ac.uk/registry/showspice.jsp?pdb=1boi&displayLabel=BioSapiens;
displays all DAS sources provided by the BioSapiens project.

the following URL performs the rasmol script:
select 10-30; cartoon off; wireframe 0.3 ; color cpk ; spin on; http://das.sanger.ac.uk/registry/showspice.jsp?pdb=5pti&rasmolScript=select%2010-30;%20wireframe%200.3%20;%20color%20cpk%20;%20spin%20on;

show a text message:
http://das.sanger.ac.uk/registry/showspice.jsp?pdb=5pti&displayMessage=This%20is%20PDB%20code%205pti.%20Bovine%20Pancreatic%20Trypsin%20Inhibitor.
