Hi James, Maybe you can try another route. The ray_trace_mode, 3 gives very eye-catching pictures. Make one image intended only to grab attention and place it large in the centre of your poster. Make another image you can use to fill your background (chose the x/y-ratio of your poster for ray-tracing and take a sufficiently large resolution). Mask this image with a colour of your choice, preferably a dark colour (black, blue, purple), such that it gives sufficient contrast with your eye-catching central image and the text (white, yellow, light-green). Add the header (title, authors, affiliation). Fit the text and other images around the central image.
As another possibility, when using ray_trace_mode, 3, why not go for a comic book poster? Take a comic book of your liking and copy the style. Again, make a central image, take a comic-book-style font for the title, maybe even use balloons for the text :) Don't forget to add a link to your pymol-enhanced poster on the user list, so we can all spend a few oohs and aahs :) Good luck, Tsjerk On 11/1/06, Bronwyn Carlisle <bronwyn.carli...@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> wrote:
"They" used to have glasses things with a sort of wall arrangement between the eyes that you could use to view cross-eye stereo if you didn't have the knack of doing it by yourself. You could try to get hold of some of those. Alternatively, just use a cross-eye stereo pic and get people (your friends to start with) to try seeing the 3D - it can cause a great deal of hilarity which should attract people to your poster.

Or is there a way to do this with standard images generated in pymol? I'd like to add these kinds of images to a poster so that people normally uninterested in structural biology will at least show a superficial interest - "look at the pretty pictures!" -- James Knight <knight...@gmail.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
