Thanks for the suggestion? For now, why not just redefine the existing colors?
No need for a leading underscore... set_color green= [0.00 , 0.53 , 0.22] etc. Note that there are default atom colors such as "carbon", "nitrogen", "oxygen", "hydrogen", "sulfur", etc. which should also be redefined. set_color carbon= [0.00 , 0.53 , 0.22] etc, Warren > -----Original Message----- > From: Gil Prive [mailto:pr...@uhnres.utoronto.ca] > Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 1:38 PM > To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [PyMOL] CMYK colors > > > > This is not directly PyMOL specific, but it addresses a > problem I think > a lot of us have encountered in preparing hardcopy outputs. > > Some RGB triplets do have equivalents in CMYK space, and as a > result, a > figure that looks great on a screen can come out with unpredictable > colors when printed. > > Most applications do a good job with RGB-to-CMYK conversions > for photos, > but do not do such a good job with graphics that use pure primary > colors.
