Dear MathGroup: I would like to draw a picture of a molecule showing one of its planes of reflection symmetry. The plane should look like a piece of colored or slightly hazy glass, so that the atoms on the near side will be in bright colors, while the ones on the far side will look like their images have been filtered through the glass (but still with recognizably distinctive colors related to the unfiltered colors for kind of atom). And all of this must readjust itself as the viewpoint rotates. Can anyone point me to an example where anything like this has been done? I have Tom Wickham-Jones's excellent book on Mathematica Graphics, but it does not seem to discuss transparency, at least not that I have been able to recognize. Thanks- Martin McClain
