Hello, everyone. I'm having a hard time understanding the different properties of the dots representation in pymol. I just updated the wiki with what I've been able to piece together, but I still have many questions: 1) Why is the difference between dot_radius and dot_width (other than dot_radius takes precedence over dot_width, and dot_radius is only apparent after ray tracing)? What are the scales on both dot_radius and dot_width? 2) Is dot_density the only way to adjust how many dots are on a 'sphere'? It only accepts integer values from 1 to 4... Is there some other way to control this parameter, since sometimes I'd love to use a value between dot_density=3 and dot_density=4..? 3) Speaking of dot_density and spheres, is there a good way to adjust the size of the sphere that the dot representation uses? I adjustable this through using alter, and changing the vdw setting for a selection (or object)... (then a rebuild)... Is this the best way?
Thanks.
