Hi,
Someone posed a question to me that I couldn't answer, so I'm turning to
the collective wisdom here for help.
How does one create one of those fancy journal-cover images in which,
say, a structure is superimposed on some other image as a background,
but in which a shadow is cast on the background. There is a simple image
of this sort on the opening page of the pymol gallery, so I figure this
must be possible and that perhaps Warren himself knows. :)
I assume that this might be a povray method, so I figured out that if do
something like:
(header,data) = cmd.get_povray()
file=open('povray.dat','w')
file.write(header)
file.write(data)
file.close()
then I have a povray input file that I can render.
Does anybody have a recipe for adding a background image using povray?
Or is there another, better way?
Cheers,
Robert
