Re: [PyMOL] Camera Orientation

Quyen, If clipping isn't the effect you want, the solution probably lies in increasing the camera field of view angle which will enable PyMOL to better get of inside spaces without having nearby elements appear to intersect the camera surface (or front clipping plane). set field_of_view, 45

Ah thank you Warren, that gave it a fish-eye effect that seems to work. Is there any other way to go about this problem? Is there no way to move the camera from looking in to looking out? By default, the camera is anchored outside the molecule, can the camera be anchored to a point inside the

Ah ha, now I see what you're angling at! What a great question -- I'm amazed this hasn't come up before in ten years of usage and development. The core problem is that PyMOL's camera has been designed from day one to orbit around a specific point in space, not at a point. To get the effect you

[PyMOL] another odd PyMOL question....

2008-11-11 Thread Thomas Stout
Hi again everyone -- I have another odd PyMOL question: does anyone know if it is possible to make selections based on what color certain atoms are? I need to do some wholesale re-coloring of a series of complicated figures and it would be extremely useful if I could just say something like:

So, a follow up question becomes: is there a way to report what color something is? :) -Tom -Original Message- From: matthew.frank...@imclone.com [mailto:matthew.frank...@imclone.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 1:52 PM To: Thomas Stout Cc: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net
