Hi :)
You can use for-loops in pml files, but it's a bit tricky. Usually you will
want to enclose the code in a python .. python end block, indicating that
the lines are pure python:
python
for i in range(2,61):
...
python end
Also mind that range runs UP TO (excluding) the last number, so you'll need
to put 61 if you want the counter to run to 60. For cases like this, I tend
to use a trick, so I put the for-loop on one line, and thus avoid the
python block:
filename="C:\Users\Brenton\Documents\Chem Structures\PDBs\2\2HYY -
imatinib\PyMOL movie\Image%04d.png"
rotate y, -6
for i in range(1,61): cmd.rotate("y",6) or cmd.png(filename%i, dpi=300,
ray=1)
Hope it helps,
Tsjerk
