That seems like a modification that makes it less flexible. Now I can't do:
ray 2.5in, 20cm, dpi=300 Don't ask me why I might want to use two different units, I just don't see a reason to make it so I cannot. I'm frequently surprised by my desires. And resolution is inconsistent with the png function, and less precise. I don't know what units I have with the resolution argument. One of my high ranking complaints about pymol has been certain inconsistencies in the api, so that's actually what I care about more. (Maybe I should write those up, but fixing these things is always hard because backwards compatibility kind of matters). Also, it would be nice to have this in the png function as well. As for units, I thought it would be nice to read the file used by the units unix type function (located at /usr/share/units.dat on my linux machine, /usr/share/misc/units.lib). Maybe ship with and support the mac/bsd one since that should be friendly with the pymol license and check for the system one at runtime. That way, if new units are ever invented, we get some (semi-)automatic support. -David ----- Original Message ---- > From: Tsjerk Wassenaar <tsje...@gmail.com> > To: Jason Vertrees <jason.vertr...@schrodinger.com> > Cc: Georg Steinkellner <georg.steinkell...@uni-graz.at>; > pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Sent: Wed, January 20, 2010 3:54:25 PM > Subject: Re: [PyMOL] Feature Requests/Ideas (Sean Law) > > Hi, > > > ray 10cm, 20cm, dpi=300? > > ray 2.5in, 5in, dpi=300? > > I'd slightly modify that to read: > > ray 10,10,units=cm,resolution=300 > > where units can be pixels (default), cm, inches, meters, yards, lightyears... > > Cheers, > > Tsjerk > > > -- > Tsjerk A.
