Greetings, Does anyone know if the camera commands (turn & move) can be constrained to the reference (global) axes? I would imagine that the turn command (http://pymol.sourceforge.net/newman/ref/S1000comref.html#2_166) would cause a camera of 45 degrees about the reference axis:
PyMOL> turn x, 45 However, it appears to turn the camera about the viewport "orientation", i.e. about the (horizonal) x-axis axis of the viewport. Note - this is pretty clear if you use Robert Campbell's axes_cyl.py to visualize the reference axis. According to the manual, it is also supposed to be constrained to the origin as well but doesn't appear to do so, at least not in my hands Are its constraints possibly overridden by such commands as center, orient, origin? Reason for asking this is that it would be very nice (at least for me) to be able to perform "local" transformations (i.e. about local object axes, be it the camera or other) that are bound to locally-defined axes - that are independent of the "global" or viewport orientation. Using winXP/Pymol 0.98. Thanks! JP Cartailler
