Hi Pranav,

I regularly use the "graphics_to_ca_plus_ligands_representation(i)" and
related "graphics_to..." commands for the scripting of representation
switching. Depending on how much scripting you want to do you could either
create a toolbutton with something like;

graphics_to_ca_plus_ligands_representation(active_redidue[0])

Alternatively if you want to get a bit more fancy you could define a toggle
function in your coot-preferences.
Something like the dirty script below will bind shift+c to toggle ca
representation on whatever model you interacted with last;

CA_toggle = 0
def toggle_ca_rep():

CA_toggle = (CA_toggle+1)%2


if CA == 1:

graphics_to_ca_plus_ligands_representation(active_residue()[0])

elif CA == 0:

graphics_to_bonds_representation(active_residue()[0])


#graphics
add_key_binding("Toggle_CA", "C", lambda:
CA_toggle=toggle_ca_rep(CA_toggle))

Best,
Victor
