Hi David,

Sorry to be more on the programmatic than on your pragmatic side.

 That seems like a modification that makes it less flexible.  Now I can't do:

 ray 2.5in, 20cm, dpi=300


Okay, let's say you could do:

ray 2.5, 20, units=(in,cm), resolution=300

providing either a single string, or a tuple of strings to indicate
the units. The reason for preferring that for me is the pymol/python
API. The x and y size should be floats, not strings, in order to make
the API intuitive and allow direct invocation in a script, without
doing something like

cmd.ray(%s%xsize+xunit,%s%ysize+yunit,...)

You'd definitely want:

xsize = calc_size(arguments)
ysize = calc_size(arguments)
cmd.ray(xsize,ysize,units=cm,...)

 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.

I'm also surprised by your anticipation on your 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).

Please indicate the API inconsistencies. Solving inconsistencies
should be on everyone's wish list.

 Also, it would be nice to have this in the png function as well.

It's not possible to set both size and resolution as the png argument
merely writes out the image there is. You could either control the
resolution, adapting the size, or control the size, adapting the
resolution.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

Hi David,

 Doesn't png already take a size and resolution argument?
 cmd.png(string filename, int width, int height, float dpi, int ray, int
 quiet)

 so, now I do cmd.png('1acb.png', 5,4,units=in, dpi=300) ?

Errm, that only makes sense if the viewport itself is resampled
somehow when you don't do raytracing, but I don't think it is. More
probable, one of both, size or resolution, will be disregarded.
Consider that your viewport has a fixed number of pixels on x and on y
(the same goes for a raytraced image). Now to write that to an image,
you can say I want to have so many pixels per inch and see what size
you end up with, or you can say, I want to have it this large and
see what resolution you get. If you are demanding a specific size and
resolution, there's no other option than to construct the image again
(adapt viewport/raytrace).

I hope this makes it clear.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

I'm pretty sure it is resampled when you specify a width or height.  All
this below is with 1.2r1 incentive executable, but I'm pretty sure this also
occurs on my trunk builds as well.  Maybe this is some new behavior?

I do:
viewport 600,400
png out.png, 800,800

The viewport now looks the way it does if I did ray 800,800 (except not ray
traced) and I get an 800x800 picture.

Another example:
png out.png, 1,1
Scene-Warning: Maximum OpenGL viewport dimension exceeded. ScenePNG: wrote
8192x8192 pixel image to file out.png.

PyMol seems to be saying to me, I'm sampling an OpenGL viewport with the
dimensions you specified to create this png

Don't forget the PNG command also takes a ray argument:

 png fileName, height=X, width=Y, ray=1, dpi=300

PyMOL will resample in that case.  You always get a ray traced file
from that command.

If you do:
  ray 300, 300
  png fileName.ong, height=1000, width=1000

You get a 1000,1000 non-ray traced image.

I think this works. It handles different units (in and cm). If you leave out
width or height, it gets scaled correctly. If you  leave them both out, you
get whatever the current viewport size is (is there something better?).

You can specify width and height in the units of your choice, e.g.

rayy 3,2,units=in,dpi=300
rayy 3in,2in

Extra keyword arguments get passed on to the normal ray command.

Here's a slightly improved version. It only kicks in if dpi is specified. I

For backwards compatibility, the conversion to dpi (or dots per

Hi!

1) Ever since I have used the ray function in PyMOL i ran into problems 
creating the right resolution/size of the ray trace images for 
posters/papers. I know its just a matter of x/y pixel settings, but 
every time i had to look it up again. However i wrote a little script 
embedded in the BNI-Tools plugin, where one easily can set the size and 
resolution of the ray trace image. Of course it would be nice to have 
VG, but maybe it is a meantime solution.
Load the BNI-Tools install it as plug-in and get to Plugin--BNI PyMOLl 
Tools --Create -- ray --set  and input the width-size in millimetre 
(mm) and the resolution (in dpi) you want to have. (or you can select a 
pre-set)

3) I have no solution for MD trajectories but BNI-Tools can also be used 
to import multiple pdb files (like snapshots)  into the same object 
using different states. (The object is named like the first read in) 
Maybe it is useful to you.
BNI PyMOLl Tools -- Load Files -- Multiple Files into states

There is currently no user guide for BNI-Tools but most of the BNI-Tools 
commands act on the (sele) selection. If you want to give BNI-Tools a 
try  download it from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bni-tools/
and experiment with it. Its not a completely bug-free version, so any 
bug-reports and suggestions are welcome.

Regards,
Georg

Thanks for the reply.  My comments are below.

 Load the BNI-Tools install it as plug-in and get to Plugin--BNI PyMOLl
 Tools --Create -- ray --set  and input the width-size in millimetre
 (mm) and the resolution (in dpi) you want to have. (or you can select a
 pre-set)

So you'd like to see something like:

ray 10cm, 20cm, dpi=300?
ray 2.5in, 5in, dpi=300?


 3) I have no solution for MD trajectories but BNI-Tools can also be used
 to import multiple pdb files (like snapshots)  into the same object
 using different states. (The object is named like the first read in)
 Maybe it is useful to you.
 BNI PyMOLl Tools -- Load Files -- Multiple Files into states

This is easily achieved using a mixture of Python and the PyMOL API.
Let's assume you have a 100 files in a directory, all trajectory
snapshots.  To load all 100 objects into one PyMOL object, just do:

import glob
for x in glob.glob(yourDirectoryName/*.pdb): cmd.load(x, myMultiStateObject)

PyMOL know that if you load more than one structure into the same
object name, to make it a multistate object.

Re: [PyMOL] Feature Requests/Ideas (Sean Law)

2010-01-20 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
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

Several more votes for one of these from lots of people in my lab.

Re: [PyMOL] Feature Requests/Ideas (Sean Law)

2010-01-20 Thread David Hall
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.
