Yuuki, I've glanced at the code and found that there's no way to get that information out directly right now. The dist command only returns the average distance drawn -- this is because a single distance command can be used to draw distances to many atoms. To accomplish your goal, you would need to temporarily copy each state into a separate object, issue a distance command to measure it, and then delete the temporary object.
We need to add more "measuring" tools to PyMOL: Is the following proposed list complete? get_distance get_angle get_dihedral In each case, you would only be measuring one set of atoms and you would get a number if measuring a single state (default), or you would get a list if measuring the value for all states (of those atoms). Sound reasonable? Cheers, Warren On Sat, 12 Oct 2002, Yuuki Komata wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm making sequenced pictures to be a movie.
