Dear all,
I have tried unsuccessfully to render a backbone drawing with povray. I am
using the standalone jmol.sh script on a Debian linux (kernel version
2.6.11.10) with the Java Runtime Environment version 1.4.2-01. I start
jmol (version 10.00 and 10.00.12) from the shell issuing 'jmol.sh 1phz.gz'
where 1phz is a standard PDB file. The script
select *; cpk off; wireframe off; backbone 100
then shows the backbone as a CA trace in Jmol. Running povray from the
toolbar only displays a background color picture. However, if I go on to
select the backbone nitrogen and carbons via
backbone off; select *.N or *.CA or *.C; wireframe 100
to feed this to povray via the toolbar button, it nicely renders a trace
as also seen on the Jmol screen.
Comparing the two *.pov Jmol output files, I see in the first case an
empty '#if (showBonds)' section whereas the in the latter I have it filled
with bond data. Looks like Jmol does not output backbone CA trace by some
reason. Does anybody have a solution to this problem? I have already
checked the archives and bug tracker - without results.
Thanks for your help,
Chris
