Joachim,
No, just a clarification: zoom center, distance where distance is a number is merely a special-case use of: zoom selection, buffer In that the pseudo selection "center" is just a fixed point in space, so buffer can be thought of as being a distance defining a box around that point.

Did you just add this today to the text?

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 png img1.png delete all load obj2.pdb center obj2 zoom center, 20 ray png img2.png Cheers, Warren -- DeLano Scientific LLC Subscriber Support Services mailto:supp...@delsci.com -----Original Message----- From: pymol-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:pymol-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Joachim Reichelt Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 5:03 AM To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net 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.
