Sorry for the total newbie question, but I have to start somewhere. I'm trying to help someone convert a number of sdf files (1000s) to image files to be used on a web page. I don't know much about chemistry or pymol, but from googling around this seemed like a good place to start my investigation.
I have several 1000 sdf files to convert so working manually through the gui would be prohibitive. I'd like to either generate the images on the fly as needed or do all of them once in a batch. If someone knows of a (preferably free) tool for doing this already I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Otherwise any hints on how this might be done in pymol would be great. I've been googling around and browsing thru the documentation but still not clear to me how to do the above. Seems like there is a way to script pymol. Are there some examples of simple scripting that shows how to open a file and then save as a given format? Seems like that would get me most of the way there. thanks, -- Dustin Lee qhfgva=rot13(dustin)
