[PyMOL] Cryo Maps - gaussian isosurface

2016-04-05 Thread harold steinberg
Hi All, I’m trying to make an isomesh of EMD-6413 (a cryo map) in Pymol. It’s a large map with a lot of extra, not very clean. In Chimera I can just gaussian the map with a new map to the level I want with a slider and it looks good, but I’d much rather work in PyMOL! PyMOL can gaussian maps,

[PyMOL] shadows commands

2016-04-05 Thread harold steinberg
Hi All, I’m trying to write scripts that include shadow options. In the menus at the top of the program users can choose: Setting/Rendering/Shadows and then they can pick: None, light, medium, heavy, black, matte, soft, occlusion 1, and occlusion 2. How do I put those shadows into a script?

Hi all, 1. If I set a surface with 70% transparency and then generate a morph of it - all looks great. However, when I save a movie of that morph the transparent surface turn almost solid, though you can still see the cartoon backbone (looks more like 5% transparency). Is there anyway to

Hi all, I need to generate a morph from 3J5R to 3J5Q. When I load both files and generate the morph, it’s all messed up. When I generate a morph of other structures it works just fine. In the structures that do not morph correctly a sample selection is: /3j5r/A/B/ILE`573/CD1

The 9600 x 4800 is a very common poster printer spec. Most print shops use 180 dpi images on their poster printers (for best print speed) and customers cannot tell the difference between that and a higher resolution. As a test, render a small image (say 6” x 6”) in PyMOL at four different dpi,

I believe that you can only apply the cartoon setting to an entire obj (object). And so you are correct in trying to duplicate the nucleotide so you can apply one setting to it, while allowing the other setting to display the rest of them. But that doesn’t work either since the program will

You can change the color of the tube backbone with "set cartoon_nucleic_acid_color, blue”. But it’s my understanding that the color of the backbone is always set to only one color. You cannot make part of it one color and part of it another color. If you try you’ll get the following warning:
