Seth, Yes, via the "label_position" setting which specifies x,y, and z alignment of labels.
Values in the range [-1,1] imply alignment. Beyond that, it is a translation along camera axes in model-space dimensions. # for left alignment 0.75 A in front of atom set label_position, [-1,0,1.75] # for right alignment directly on atom set label_position, [1,0,0] # for left alignment 1 A to right of atom set label_position, [2,0,0] # for center alignment 2 A below atom set label_position, [0,-3,0] # centered 3 A in front of atom set label_position, [0,0,4] etc. Cheers, Waren -- Warren L.
