Thanks for the suggestion, it led me to the root of my problem. I
discovered this morning that my problem was more to do with my
understanding of cgo syntax/hierarchy/ordering. Hence
obj.extend([COLOR, 0.8, 0.8, 0.8]) # greyish
obj.extend([ALPHA, 0.5])
obj.extend([BEGIN, TRIANGLE_STRIP])
and variations on it, doesn't work. But the below does.
obj.extend([ALPHA, 0.5])
obj.extend([COLOR, 0.8, 0.8, 0.8]) # greyish
obj.extend([BEGIN, TRIANGLE_STRIP])
Cheers,
Robin

Subject: [PyMOL] transparency of cgo plane
Hi all,
I've been writing a small pymol script based on
plane_wizard.py from the pymol wiki
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Plane_Wizard
(and also Warren's script cgo_plane.py ) However, I'm getting
stuck with the modification I'd most like to make.
I'd like the plane to be partially transparent. This seems to
be possible ( http://delsci.com/img/pore.jpg ) but I think I
must be overlooking something obvious in cgo syntax...
I found an old message in the archive saying this can only be
done at the time the object is created using something like
def makeSphere(name, x, y, z, r, transparency=0.5):
obj[]
obj.extend([cgo,1-transparency])
cmd.load_cgo(obj,name,1)
but have had no success in adapting/integrating this.
Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Robin
