Dear All,
I want to get a specific view set up in PyMOL based upon the coordinates inthe
PDB file. I have calculated where the center should be (i.e. c.o.m. of the
coordinates) and then calculated the plane a*x + b*y + c*z = 1 for three points
to get the plane I want for the image, and the normal to that plane, i.e.
normalized vector (a,b,c). I want the view to look at the atoms up or down this
normal.
I can't figure out how to calculate the orientation matrix I want, can anyone
tell me how? See the values below:
center = 47.583, -7.099, -11.403
normal = ( 0.23972, 0.79028 0.56391 )
The approximate orientation matrix, from alignment by eye
set_view (\
0.654, -0.692, 0.305,\
-0.244, -0.574, -0.781,\
0.716, 0.437, -0.544,\
0.000, 0.000, -120.000,\
47.583, -7.099, -11.403,\
70.000, 170.000, 0.000 )
Any help greatly appreciated
