Hi Gary,

Agreed. Something like gray works well in my experience. Don't forget in
techniques like anaglyph and chromadepth color takes on another meaning–it
encodes depth or separation. It's useful to keep this in mind.

graphics. If, however, you're on a laptop with an old Intel graphics card,
stick to immediate mode rendering ('set use_shaders, 0').

Again, using Setting > Rendering > Modernize will actually give you pixel
perfect spheres drawn quickly. But, in immediate mode, you are correct.


To create the highest-quality movies or images, make sure you ray trace
your images. This can be done with the 'ray', and 'png' commands or as
movie creation time if 'ray_trace_frames' is set.


To reinitialize PyMOL just run the "reinitialize" command.

Cheers,
