[PyMOL] writing out the surface

2012-06-11 Thread Michael Lerner
Hi all, If I have a surface representation, is there currently a way to write it out as points (perhaps with a desired spacing) to a file? I know that the answer used to be no, but I thought I'd check just in case there was a new function that I didn't know about. Cheers, -Michael -- Michael

James, 1) I want to visualise individual water mollecules wich have moved to the protein interiour during my MD run. How I could hide all solvent water and visualise only those water wich are within defined cutoff distance from the protein ? You can find buried waters with this script:

Hi Michael, The answer used to be you can write out the surface as mesh in vrml or povray format, from which you can extract the vertices. I think it's still the proper answer. Cheers, Tsjerk On Jun 11, 2012 5:26 PM, Michael Lerner mgler...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, If I have a surface

Hi James, [...] Is there any possible way to merge polar interactions with the protein structures to one object ? yes, you can put them in the same group object. This will show them in the same slot in group mode. http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Group Cheers, Thomas -- Thomas Holder MPI

Hi, Another way: There is an undocumented API called 'dump', which can dump coordinates of isomesh/isosurface to a file. For mesh, it dumps a list of vertex coordinates, which can be rendered as GL_LINE_STRIP. For surface, it dumps a list of pairs of a vertex coordinate and its vertex normal

Hi all, Tsjerk- Thanks. I'm not sure how I missed that, given that it's even mentioned on the wiki on the surface page under the clear heading Exporting Surface/Mesh Coordinates to File :-|. ( http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Surface#Exporting_Surface.2FMesh_Coordinates_to_File). I don't know
