I am loving this render-er, and am directing my undergrads to it. But
there is one serious inconvenience- the lack of a convenient way to
select individual chains. Selecting chains is a major way of
highlighting items of interest, and is easy on rasmol
I am not familiar with other molecular visualization packages, although I do have access to rasmol.
I am somewhat surprised that you though it was easy on rasmol ...
Q: How is it easier on rasmol than on Jmol?
after
set picking chain
chains can be selected using a single mouse click, in RasMol and in Jmol (in RasMol2.7.2 lots of set picking commands are included in the Settings menu, but none of the mouse click selection modes: chain, group, atom)
an other
platforms. When I press control on the window, I get an extensive set
of select options, such as for amino acids, heteros, or chemistries,
which are very useful. I guess that you might not want to
un-standardize the Select interface, to insert chains, but currently
other accession-specific statistics are loaded in the top of the
control menu. I also realize that you must have had this conversation
before, but as a new user, this is glaring.
We probably have had this conversation before ... but we can have it again :-)
Other people have asked about selecting entire groups at one time.
me, and I'm happy with set picking group in Jmol as in RasMol
Q: When you say 'I press control on the window' are you referring to the
popup (contextual) menu?
the Tools AtomSetChooser now only selects Models, but ... (personally, I don't need it but ... )
after the script commandsQ: Are you asking for some type of 'selection mode' that allows one to choose atoms, groups, or chains?
set display selected
# which may be helpful and one of the following commands:
set picking atoms
set picking group
set picking chain
now a single mouse click is enough to toggle selection stage of atoms, groups or chains.
