Sphere transparency example included below... ALPHA must preceed COLOR to be effective.
PyMOL does not yet do a global sort of tranparent triangles, so there will be artifacts in OpenGL. Raytracing should look fine however. # from within a .py OR .pym file... from pymol.cgo import * from pymol import cmd obj = [ ALPHA, 1.0, COLOR, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, SPHERE, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, ALPHA, 0.66, COLOR, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, SPHERE, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, ALPHA, 0.33, COLOR, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, SPHERE, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.5, ALPHA, 0.11, COLOR, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, SPHERE, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.5, ] cmd.load_cgo(obj,'cgo01') Cheers, Warren -- Warren L.
