Re: [PyMOL] object-specific Z-clipping

2009-05-01 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar
Hi Carsten e.a., I am thinking that if it would be possible to write out the orientation of the clipping planes/slabs as PovRay objects, they could be used as bounding objects in PovRay. Since the placement of the clipping planes is easily achieved in Pymol this could be done interactively.

[PyMOL] Newbie attempting to python script: ImportError: No module named _cmd

Hi, I'm trying to set up my machine to be able to run python scripts using the PyMol API, but whenever I try to import the pymol module, I get the following output: Traceback (most recent call last): File /Users/lukegoodsell/Documents/Rotation 2/PDB/potentials.py, line 9, in module

[PyMOL] GitHub for pymol-scripts

2009-05-01 Thread Justin Lecher
Dear all, yesterday I created a GitHub to collect and enlarge the scripts collection for pymol. I started to import the already posted ones from the pymolwiki.org. In my opinion this is a smooth way to maintain the code of the scripts and it is a good addition to the wiki pages. I'd like

[PyMOL] Vector-Based Figure Export

Hi Warren, I know that there has been some discussion on implementing a vector-based figure export. I was wondering if there were any updates on this? I think that this would be an amazing feature to have. Thanks! Sean _

Re: [PyMOL] Newbie attempting to python script: ImportError: Nomodule named _cmd

2009-05-01 Thread Warren DeLano
Folks, I'll second what Nat wrote. One of the reasons PyMOL is open-source is so that outside developers can compile and use PyMOL with their own external Python interpreters without regard to what Python version, operating system, or hardware platform they are using. Practically speaking,

Justin, Thank you for doing this! It is also probably also worth mentioning that Jason recently reorganized the script presentation on PyMOLWiki so as to make PyMOLWiki scripts easier to find. http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Category:Script_Library There may be some redundancy between the

Re: [PyMOL] object-specific Z-clipping

2009-05-01 Thread Warren DeLano
Carsten, I think you're on to something. So long as this rendering problem remains too hard for us to solve with PyMOL alone, probably the next best thing would be for us to figure out at least an interim PovRay or Raster3D-based process for creating such figures. Having an object-selective but
