Hi Buz, To my opinion, this is not the best place for your question. Pymol is a molecular viewer... But the question itself is basically trivial from the linear algebra point of view. If X is your source set of orthogonal vectors and Y is the target, then you should have some sort of matrix R to

Dear All, I'm looking for an algorithm that will allow me to derive a transformation matrix that superimposes one set of orthogonal vectors onto another set of orthogonal vectors, that I can then use to transform another set of orthogonal vectors. Thanks! and all the best, --Buz
