Hi Jeff,
10 minutes is a long time for a 800 by 800 pixel image.
Maybe you need to use a computer with more memory.
You can set the dpi in the argument to the png command to a lower value like
300 or 200 to speed up writing the png file.
You can also turn off the casting of shadows: cmd.do("set ray_shadows,off"),
which might save a few seconds.
Best regards,
Blaine

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [PyMOL] Generation of images using png
Dear PyMol users,
I am generating png images of protein-ligand complex using png command
of pymol. This is the syntax that I am using from my bash script:
image=800
pdb='my.pdb'
# load pdb, split states, make image
MacPyMOL -c -d "
from pymol import cmd
cmd.load('${pdb}')
cmd.split_states('complex*')
cmd.bg_color('white')
cmd.draw(${image},${image});cmd.png('test.png',width=${image},height=${image},ray=1)
"
Briefly, it works well but the time of the production of each image is
up to 10 minutes (in the case if I have many models in my.pdb). Is it
possible to speed PNG, while keeping the same resolution of image
(800x800)?
Cheers,
J.
