You can use the cgo text (line or cylinder versions) as I mentioned in my reply about drawing the xyz axes, but be warned that the labels rotate with you molecule, so getting them oriented perpendicular to the view may be a pain (unless there is something I've missed). Warren's example from a previous reply of his: # draw text using cgo from pymol import cmd from pymol.cgo import * from pymol.vfont import plain cgo = [] axes = [[2.0,0.0,0.0],[0.0,2.0,0.0],[0.0,0.0,2.0]] pos = [0.0,0.0,0.0] wire_text(cgo,plain,pos,'Hello World',axes) pos = [0.0,-3.0,0.0] cyl_text(cgo,plain,pos,'Hello Universe',0.10,axes=axes) cmd.set("cgo_line_radius",0.03) cmd.load_cgo(cgo,'txt') cmd.zoom("all",2.0) Cheers, Robert -- Robert L.
