Re: [PyMOL] Anaglyph colours sorted (kind of)

2013-06-27 Thread Gary Hunter
Thanks again for a prompt reply.
 I usually use LCD shutter glasses but they are starting to fail. Anaglyph
is a useful alternative and works on any monitor of course.
I'm also keen to use it for seminars with projected anaglyph images and
movies.
Not sure if I should keep ranting on about anaglyph here? Is the wiki an
alternative?

Just to recap of what to avoid after loading and working on your molecules:
1) do not use a black background
2) do not use setting  rendering  modernize
3) be careful with setting quality too high (especially on spheres)

Point 4 should now be:
4) do not use 'ray' when trying to use anaglyph stereo. This is a shame
because an anaglyph image for a slide or printout might be useful.

Some irreversible colour changes are frustrating after working for hours on
molecular structures, and then finding anaglyph does not work. That¹s why
I'd like to find a 'reset' command for the settings ­ edit all settings.
Initialise wipes out all my hard work (molecules, objects, selections, maps,
etc etc). Currently I just have to revert to the last saved pse file.

Any idea why using modern shaders does not work with anaglyph and might this
be improved later?

Hi Gary,


 1) do not use a black background

Agreed. Something like gray works well in my experience. Don't forget in
techniques like anaglyph and chromadepth color takes on another meaning­it
encodes depth or separation. It's useful to keep this in mind.

 
 2) do not use setting  rendering  modernize

If you have a modern video card that supports shaders well, Setting 
Rendering  Modernize will give you better performance and much prettier
graphics. If, however, you're on a laptop with an old Intel graphics card,
stick to immediate mode rendering ('set use_shaders, 0').

 
 3) be careful with setting quality too high (especially on spheres)

Again, using Setting  Rendering  Modernize will actually give you pixel
perfect spheres drawn quickly. But, in immediate mode, you are correct.


To create the highest-quality movies or images, make sure you ray trace your
images. This can be done with the 'ray', and 'png' commands or as movie
creation time if 'ray_trace_frames' is set.


To reinitialize PyMOL just run the reinitialize command.

Cheers,

 In PyMOL 1.5 anaglyph has been improved and there are is an

 Other reasonable values are 3 (half-color) and 1 (gray).

 If you really need to change the colors, you could take the open-source

 Hope that helps.

[PyMOL] Pymol DLP 3D

2013-06-27 Thread Colin Levy
Hello,

Does anyone have any experience in running pymol in 3D using a DLP projector? I 
have an Optoma EW610ST, running from a windows seven machine using a Geforce 
GT620 GPU. The computer and projector are connected via HDMI but at present I 
am not able to configure any 3D output.

Many thanks,

Colin

[PyMOL] Control and shift keys not functioning (Fedora 18)

2013-06-27 Thread Paul Paukstelis
I've found that all recent versions (1.5, 1.6, non-incentive) of Pymol 
on my laptop running updated Fedora 18 (nvidia drivers) don't allow me 
to use the control or shift keys for selection or editing in the gui. I 
dug out an older version (1.4.1) and it behaved properly. It appears to 
be pymol specific as coot and other programs work fine. Has anyone seen 
this before?

Thanks,

Re: [PyMOL] Anaglyph colours sorted (kind of)

2013-06-27 Thread Jason Vertrees
Hi Gary,

I think you misunderstood.

First, with a good video card, use Setting  Rendering  Modernize for
the fastest and highest quality on screen rendering. In fact, it's
essentially as good as ray tracing but without shadows. If your
machine cannot handle this, the fallback is immediate mode rendering,
which PyMOL has been using for years. Machines with older and lower
quality video cards sometimes cannot handle this rendering technique:
they're simply incapable of using such drawing techniques.

 Point 4 should now be:
 4) do not use 'ray' when trying to use anaglyph stereo. This is a shame 
 because an anaglyph image for a slide or printout might be useful.

You have this backwards. The 'ray' command works just fine in anaglyph
mode. I've made countless 3D images using 'ray' and anaglyph mode.


 Some irreversible colour changes are frustrating after working for hours on 
 molecular structures, and then finding anaglyph does not work. That’s why I'd 
 like to find a 'reset' command for the settings – edit all settings. 
 Initialise wipes out all my hard work (molecules, objects, selections, maps, 
 etc etc). Currently I just have to revert to the last saved pse file.

Since we do not have 'undo' for things like colors you have to save
keep saving your session files so you don't lose any color changes.


 Any idea why using modern shaders does not work with anaglyph and might this 
 be improved later?

Again, modern shaders do indeed work with PyMOL–I use them all the
time–your video card just has to be good enough and you need to be
using PyMOL v1.5 or later.

Cheers,

-- Jason

Hi Gary  Jason,

two more things to add:

Optimized anaglyph is not available in immediate mode rendering.

You can reset all settings like this:
