Re: [PyMOL] Transparent Background in Educational Version

[Emilio Xavier Esposito]

Hi Cris
Please include the ray=1 option in your png test.png, dpi=300 command or
use the set opaque_background, off instead of the set
ray_opaque_background, off command.

Commands to create a PNG file with a transparent background:

set opaque_background, off

png test.png, dpi=300, ray=1

*PNG file creation*

*Opaque background*

[PyMOL] Transparent Background in Educational Version

[cristopher garduno]

Hello, my name is Cris and I am attempting to save a version of my protein
with a transparent background. I have tried using the commands


set ray_opaque_background, off

png test.png, dpi=300


but this doesn't seem to work. I have the educational version of PyMol, is
this the reason that I'm unable to use the option for a transparent
background?

Thank you,
Cris

[PyMOL] Transparent background

[Kerff Frédéric]

Hi pymol users,

I'd like to make a figure with a transparent background. Is it possible
with pymol?
Thanks for your help.

Fred

[Warren DeLano]

Yes, in recent builds (http://delsci.com/beta).

set opaque_background, off

then

draw or ray

and then save the image.

NOTE: Some graphics cards support this in OpenGL (draw command), other systems 
can only do transparent backgrounds via the ray-tracer (ray command).

Cheers,
Warren

[PyMOL] transparent background

[Douglas Kojetin]

Hi All-

Is it possible to create an image in PyMOL with a transparent 
background (without having to feed it through a second program, such as 
the ImageMagick suite)?


rant:  MS PowerPoint has the ability to make images transparent, 
however Apple's Keynote does not -- a missing feature that's likely to 
make me switch back from switching (presentation software; I'm not 
giving up OS X).


Thanks,
Doug

Set the ray_opaque_background to off

The PNG file format supports transparency.  Render your scene with the
above, open up in an image editor and you should have a transparent
background.

Re: [PyMOL] transparent background

Works perfectly.  Many thanks.  If anyone has any strong arguments for 
Apple's Keynote over MS's Powerpoint, I'd be interested in hearing them 
(off list or on).


Thanks again,
Doug
