[PyMOL] new to list -- simple questions

Hello, PyMOL users! I'm new to this list. Some may recognize me as the current principal developer of Jmol. Until recently I hadn't explored PyMOL much, mostly because I'm not myself a biochemist. For about three months now, though, Jaime Prilusky (Weizmann Institute) and I have been working on a

[PyMOL] PyMOL session file reader for Jmol

Hello, PyMOL users, The driving force behind these last four months of Jmol/JSmol development has been e-publication. The goal has been to produce a means of e-publishing working interactive biomolecular models that are ubiquitously accessible (i.e. no Java, no WebGL). We achieved that goal for

[PyMOL] surfaces involving more than one object

PyMOL questions about surfaces: Simple enough to create a surface for one object. What about for only a portion of the object? How to do each of these? -- closed surface ignoring a selected set of atoms -- open surface not ignoring any atoms, but also not displaying their part Is the rule,

[PyMOL] settings

I'm trying to understand settings. I see that there are at least these levels of settings: - global - object - state - unique atom/bond Are there more? I'm unclear on when one overrides another. It looks to me that the general getSetting methods have the option of up to three levels of

[PyMOL] scenes and states

Questions: Can two objects be in two different states -- object1 in state 3 and object2 in state 10, for instance, at the same time? If so, how is that set up? How is that then incorporated into a scene? Do CGO, measurements, mesh, and volume objects have states as well? Bob -- Robert M.

Re: [PyMOL] Reducing the surface rendering load for JSmol export

Nick, if these are just molecular surfaces, there is nothing to do in PyMOL. The PSE files have only an indication of which atoms to create the surface for, not the surface itself. Jmol/JSmol reads the PSE files directly, determines what molecular surface to create, and uses its own algorithms.

Re: [PyMOL] sulfated tyrosine's losing connection

This unusual file has all the backbone bonds indicated with CONECT records -- except the missing links you note. I'm guessing that PyMOL is respecting that, and that it could be an RCSB file error. CONECT 9606 9593 9607 CONECT 9607 9606 CONECT 9608 9609 ... CONECT 1674 1661 1675 CONECT 1675 1674

Re: [PyMOL] sulfated tyrosine's losing connection

actually -- I see there are just CONECT records for all the HETATMs, as usual. Nothing odd about that. But, nonetheless, in this case those CONECT records are not there. The point is that it has nothing to do with PyMOL. ​

Re: [PyMOL] JyMOL vs JSMol

I guess I should chime in here. JSmol does read (some fraction of) PyMOL session files. To be sure it has not been a priority to keep up to date with all the amazing PyMOL capabilities, but certainly as a proof of concept it has worked well, and it would be great to collaborate on this to improve

Don't worry. No apology necessary. It's a closely held secret that JSmol can do this. In any case, trust me, you will find plenty that JSmol cannot handle. There are many mysteries of the PSE format that I could only guess at. Enjoy! ​

[PyMOL] Version question -- PSE session file format

I have a question about the PSE file format. Newer PSE files, perhaps those created using PyMOL 1.8, seem to have no indication of the desired viewport width and height. These were in the "main" dictionary item. Is there any way in these new files to find out the original viewport size? Bob --

Re: [PyMOL] The Wiki appears outdated or in error

In case you are interested, Jim, Jmol will read (most/some) PyMOL session files, and Jmol can then create both an idtf for generating a u3d file, and a small sample TeX file also that can be used to create a PDF containing it. I had some interest in u3d back in 2009, when I wrote this exporter.

Re: [PyMOL] dump_binary and PyMOL 1.8 PSE files

To finish this thread -- Jmol and JSmol can now read (basic) PyMOL 1.8 PSE files that have set dump_binary, 1 for faster loading and smaller file sizes. Jmol only implements a small, basic range of PyMOL functionality, of course.

[PyMOL] dump_binary and PyMOL 1.8 PSE files

Thomas, In reading PyMOL PSE files into Jmol I have recently run into the problem with some of these files (version 1.8.2.3). Jmol has no problem reading the standard Pickle format, but there seems to be an option in PyMOL to serialize binary data structures as BINSTRING or SHORT_BINSTRING format
