Hi all, First off, let me congratulate Dr. DeLano for creating such an amazingly useful program. The combination of GUI and command-line is great, making it easier to use than MolScript and more functional than DeepView. Not to mention the *very* polished graphics that it is capable of producing.
So now that I've dispensed with the praise, here's my question. For an upcoming talk we'd like to show some footage of our molecule of interest rocking along the y axis (thus swinging back and forth along some putative sites on the "top" of the protein). I'm assuming there's a way to do this, but I'm not sure exactly how to do so. I took a look at the mrock function in movie.py, and noticed that, while one passes it 5 arguments from the command line, there are actually 6 variables in the function, the last one being "axis," explaining my inability to pass the function an argument for the axis of rotation. However, in my desperation, I've even gone so far as changing this last variable to axis='y' within movie.py itself, but the molecule continued to rock on the x axis. Any suggestions?
