I did manage to get coot loading a pdb file as a C-alpha trace by
placing the statement
graphics_to_ca_representation(0) in the .coot.py file where. I suppose 0
is the number of the molecule. So my question is can this be made
permanent so that when I load another pdb file in the same coot session
it will also only be displayed as a C-alpha trace?
You are right, '0' is the molecule number. Currently there is no way to
do CA representation as default (at least that I know of - Paul?!). At
the moment the easiest I can offer is a keyboard shortcut to change the
representation by Ctrl+Shift scroll. There is other options though (idle
add functions e.g.).
That is right at the moment.
I think that it would be idea to add a post-read hook. For 0.7 then.
Yes, idle add would be the way to do what Rob wants right now. It's not
to difficult for the function to wake up every send and turn all
molecules to CA representations if they are not already.
