Hi All, I am a recent subscriber to the list, so apologies if this question has been answered before. I am interested in finding out how you can add your own functions to PyMol such that they may be "transparently" called from inside PyMol's shell. The the basic question is "How do I register PyMol names for home-grown functions so that they can be used like the functions in the util module". A more detailed example of what I am after is below. Also, are there any warehouses or collections of home-grown functions to which I could submit functions I write and from which I could gain examples from other users?
Cheers Stephen == More detailed description of my problem == I have written a function to ramp coloring of a backbone between two or more arbitrary colors (it is really a generalization of the code in util.rainbow). I have imported the code using the general Python import command: import ramp_chain Now, let's say that I have a selection object defined as: select A,(chain A) Were I using the rainbow command I would be able to issue the command: util.rainbow A Which follows the general rules of command line parsing. Unfortunately, in my case issuing the command: ramp_chain.ramp_colors A gives the error: Syntax error: unexpected EOF (and there is an arrow under the letter A). I *can* call the command using the syntax: ramp_chain.ramp_colors( "chain A" ) but this syntax is not optimal - I would like to be able to use my already defined selections. -- Stephen Graham PhD candidate and nasty sysadmin Crystallography Group School of Molecular and Microbial Biosciences Building G08 University of Sydney New South Wales, 2006 Australia Ph: +61 2 9351 8197 Fax: +61 2 9351 4726
