Sorry I didn't mention the operating system. It's WinXPpro. The computers are a Xeon 2.8GHz (1GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro4 900XGL) and a P4 1.4GHz (768MB RAM, Nvidia GeForce2 GTS). Both run pymol 0.89. Now there is a twist to the story. We also run linux (redhat with 2.4.18 kernel) on a 2 CPU 930MHz (1G

Limited physical memory might indeed be the problem. When I ray-trace under WinXP, memory usage increases sharply (to about 500MB) and after a second or so, pymol crashes. When I ray-trace under linux, almost all physical memory (1GB) is being used. Barely 40MB available. We should be getting new

[PyMOL] extracting number of residues

2003-06-25 Thread Cameron Mura
Hello, I'm wondering what's the easiest way to extract the number of residues from a PyMOL molecular object?? I need to be able to do this in an automated way for a python script I'm writing. I guess a roundabout way would be to define a selection (say "X_ca") from an object ("X"), and then us
