Hi all: I am trying to benchmark our graphics cards or more specifically different versions of the Linux NVidia drivers with pymol. I cobbled together a short python script, which I thought would do the trick but it did not. The intent was to rotate a representation a certain number of degrees in 1 degree increments and clock the time which had elapsed. That should give me a rough idea how well the drivers perform plus pymol/python overhead which should be constant. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to force pymol to redraw every frame of the animation on the screen. It just does the turns silently without actually displaying them. I also tried using the combination of mset, roll and mplay, but there the movie does not stop after specified number of frames, although in all fairness the docs did not indicate it should.
Any ideas out there how to approach this in a better way are welcome.
I attached the script, may be it is just something simple I am missing.
Cheers,
Carsten
