Hi, I got curious about this, did a search through the docs, did a google, and now (a day later) I have a partial solution. I should get back to work...
I've posted on the wiki: http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Ellipsoid a script which makes ellipsoids. yellow ones, although that is easily changed. I realised too late that the GLU library lets you make Quadric objects, but it doesn't seem to let you make ellipsoids, only spheres. I may be wrong on this, so maybe the script could be simplified greatly... Anyway, the only problems with this approach are that a) it's probably a bit inefficient (could use the Numeric module) and b) you can't ray-trace callback objects. Hope this is helpful! gilleain torrance On 11/7/05 10:27, "tanri...@stud.uni-frankfurt.de" <tanri...@stud.uni-frankfurt.de> wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I want to vizualize 3D-ellipsoids around molecules.
