So there something missing in the "manual" at http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Zoom
zoom [ selection [,buffer [, state [, complete ]]]]

Where is the distance here???
Did you just add this today to the text?

Joachim,

The trick with that is the same as in real life:  you must place the camera
the same distance from each object you intend to photograph.  But how can we
do this with PyMOL?

Ah ha! I've got it

The "center" command positions and points the camera at the molecule.

center object-name

And then you can use the "zoom" command with the "center" keyword to specify
how much to zoom around that point.  For example:

zoom center, distance

Just use the same value (e.g. 20) with the "zoom center, ..." command and
you'll always get the same scaling (for a fixed aperture / window size /
aspect ratio).

load obj1.pdb
center obj1
zoom center, 20
ray

delete all

load obj2.pdb
center obj2
zoom center, 20
ray
png img2.png

Cheers,
Warren

Subject: [PyMOL] zoom relative and absolute

Hallo,

we want to create a set of pictures from different molecules but the zoom
value should all be the same.
ANd is there an easy way to zoom in or out by e.g. 5%?
