For well defined settings, this can be easily done, although the API is
somewhat incomplete.
(in python)
from pymol import cmd
print cmd.get_setting_tuple('bg_rgb')
my_variable = cmd.get_setting_tuple('antialias')
etc.
You will get a tuple of length 2. The first field is a type identifier,
and the second is the value corresponding to the setting.
Current type identifiers: 3 for a float, 4 for a nested tuple of three
floats. In the future, 1 will be a boolean, and 2 will be an int.
Settings are still in the process of being de-homogenized from being
pure floating point values. Eventually we will supplement this function
with something more descriptive and user-friendly -- it only exists this
early because I needed it to support the first external GUI.
Please contribute your extension for inclusion in util.py when it is
done.
Note that you can use cmd.extend to bind it to a command for maximum
convenience.
Cheers,
Warren
