Re: [PyMOL] Yaw, Pitch and Roll of CGO

2014-02-18 Thread Paweł Tomaszewski
Jared, my haptic device is SensAble Phantom Omni and now it is called
Geomagic Touch. I work on integration it with PyMOL and VRPN.

So far so good, but now I have a little more complicated problem with
rotate and translate functions.

When I set camera=0 in both of them, it doesn't matter if I move the screen
with mouse or not - my cone rotations and translations are absolute to the
global origin.
But when I don't set camera=0 option translations of the cone still works
well but rotations don't.

I think this is because translate function gets coordinates that are not
absolute to the origin but it gets changes - I mean [dx, dy, dz], where
dx=|x-x0|, x is current position and x0 is previous position (the same with
dy and dz). On the other hand rotate function gets origin option params as
absolute values, here [x, y, z] are cone position. Now after turning camera
with mouse translations of the cone are relative to camera position but
origin of rotation is absolute to main coordinate system position.

In this situation I have two origins: origin of rotations that is equal to
position of the cone and some global PyMOL origin where everything begins.

I hope it's clear so far ;)

Now, is it possible to change the origin of rotation not with values that
are absolute to the global origin but with changes relative to it's
previous position. Or maybe I should ask: "Is it possible to CHANGE origin
of rotation, not to SET it?".

I know it's a little complicated to explain what I mean using words, but I
hope I succeeded here ;)

Cheers,
Paweł

2014-02-18 Thread Sampson, Jared
Hi Pawel -

Glad you were able to make it work.  Also, that haptic device (I guess the new 
version is the Geomagic Touch?) looks pretty neat.

I'm now realizing that when you asked "how to make a rotation of the CGO about 
axis that is NOT of the global pymol coordinate system but goes through the CGO 
itself" you probably didn't necessarily mean a rotation about the cone's 
primary axis, because that doesn't really do a whole lot unless your object 
isn't radially symmetric!

For correctness' sake, however, I need to amend my previous response.  It turns 
out I chose unfortunate values for the cone base and tip positions in my 
example, which resulted in the cone axis going through the global coordinate 
origin.  My previous attempt fails for cones that don't point at or away from 
the origin.  Whoops!

Thomas'  suggestion about the origin argument fixes it, though.  So for my 
example, I'd also need either the tip or the base position:

# print the values to use later
print "tip_xyz = %s" % tip_xyz   # need this, too!
print "axis = %s" % cone_axis

and then rotate the cone with, e.g.:

rotate [3,3,3], 10, object=cone, camera=0, origin=[4,5,6]

or everything with, e.g.:

rotate [3,3,3], 10, origin=[4,5,6]

Cheers,
Jared

The problem was, that in 'translate' function I didn't use 'camera=0' option,

Hi Pawel -

If you can determine the primary axis of the cone from the tip and the center 
of the circle at the base, you can give `rotate` an arbitrary [x,y,z] float 
vector as its first argument instead of x, y or z.  For example, if you 
generate your cone using something like the following Python script:

### cone_cgo.py ###

from pymol.cgo import *
from pymol import cmd

# set up the cone
base_xyz = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
tip_xyz = [4.0, 5.0, 6.0]
base_radius = 1.0
tip_radius = 0.0
base_color = [0.9, 0.0, 0.0]
tip_color = [0.0, 0.0, 0.9]

# calculate the cone axis
cone_axis = [ tip_xyz[0]-base_xyz[0],
  tip_xyz[1]-base_xyz[1],
  tip_xyz[2]-base_xyz[2] ]

# print the axis to use later
print cone_axis

# generate the cone CGO text
obj = [CONE, base_xyz[0], base_xyz[1], base_xyz[2], tip_xyz[0], tip_xyz[1], 
tip_xyz[2], base_radius, tip_radius, base_color[0], base_color[1], 
base_color[2], tip_color[0], tip_color[1], tip_color[2], 1, 1]

# load it
cmd.load_cgo(obj, 'cone')

# generate a pseudoatom for reference
cmd.pseudoatom('point', pos=[2,5,4])
cmd.show_as('nb_spheres', 'point')

### end cone_cgo.py ###

and load it via `run cone_cgo.py`, then you can rotate the cone on its axis 
using, e.g.:

rotate [3,3,3], 10, object=cone, camera=0

Even with a radially symmetric cone surface, if you look closely, you can see 
the individual polygons changing at the cone base.  You can also rotate the 
scene around the cone axis with, e.g.:

rotate [3,3,3], 10

Hope that helps.

Jared

Hi Pawel -

If you can determine the primary axis of the cone from the tip and the center 
of the circle at the base, you can give `rotate` an arbitrary [x,y,z] float 
vector as its first argument instead of x, y or z.  For example, if you

base_xyz = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
tip_xyz = [4.0, 5.0, 6.0]
base_radius = 1.0
tip_radius = 0.0
base_color = [0.9, 0.0, 0.0]
tip_color = [0.0, 0.0, 0.9]

# calculate the cone axis
cone_axis = [ tip_xyz[0]-base_xyz[0],
  tip_xyz[1]-base_xyz[1],
  tip_xyz[2]-base_xyz[2] ]

# print the axis to use later
print cone_axis

# generate the cone CGO text
obj = [CONE, base_xyz[0], base_xyz[1], base_xyz[2], tip_xyz[0], tip_xyz[1], 
tip_xyz[2], base_radius, tip_radius, base_color[0], base_color[1], 
base_color[2], tip_color[0], tip_color[1], tip_color[2], 1, 1]

# load it
cmd.load_cgo(obj, 'cone')

# generate a pseudoatom for reference
cmd.pseudoatom('point', pos=[2,5,4])
cmd.show_as('nb_spheres', 'point')

### end cone_cgo.py ###

and load it via `run cone_cgo.py`, then you can rotate the cone on its axis 
using, e.g.:

rotate [3,3,3], 10, object=cone, camera=0

Even with a radially symmetric cone surface, if you look closely, you can see

you should read

This would tell you that the rotate function has a "origin" argument.

Re: [PyMOL] Yaw, Pitch and Roll of CGO

2014-02-06 Thread Thomas Holder
Hi Pawel,

have you tried using the camera=0 argument?

cmd.rotate(axis, angle, object='yourcone', camera=0)

Cheers,
  Thomas

[PyMOL] Yaw, Pitch and Roll of CGO

2014-02-05 Thread Павел Томашевский
Hello
I've made a cone CGO (something like a pointer) and now I need to make a
rotation of the cone. I have got yaw, pitch and roll angle values, but when
I do 'rotate' command it rotates about axis of the global coordinate system.

My question is, how to make a rotation of the CGO about axis that is NOT of
the global pymol coordinate system but goes through the CGO itself?

I hope it's clear what I mean ;)

Thank you
Pawel
