[PyMOL] Rendering plugin

2010-01-21 Thread Michael Lerner
With all of the recent discussion about extensions to the ray command, I
thought I'd mention a little plugin I wrote several years ago. You can find
it at the bottom of

http://sitemaker.umich.edu/carlsonlab/resources.html

It's not quite as full-featured as some of the proposed ray extensions, but
it does provide a really easy way for you to say I want a 4in x 3in figure
at 600dpi.

The Ray button raytraces, and the Draw button just draws the image
without raytracing (a fast way to see that the height/width look good).

It warns you not to have the plugin window on top of your main PyMOL window
when you click Ray. That doesn't seem to be necessary anymore, at least on
my MacBook Pro.

Re: [PyMOL] Rendering plugin

2010-01-21 Thread Michael Lerner
In keeping with the modern way of doing things, I've

1. put the rendering plugin up on the wiki (
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Rendering_Plugin )
2. put a metric version of the plugin on the same page
3. put the rayy code on my userpage on the wiki ( see my .pymolrc here:
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/User:Mglerner ). If you add it to your
.pymolrc, you will be able to type rayy 3 in, 2 in, dpi=300 from the PyMOL
command line
4. Followed Luca Jovine's suggestion to change the order of rayy's
arguments.

Cheers,

-Michael
