Pernille, The algorithm PyMOL uses to generate outlines is discrete and based on actual pixels. Thus the maximum thickness is one pixel, but you can get a thinner outline by increasing the antialiasing setting to simply render more pixels:

I haven't been able to find a setting that successfully does that. Can anyone help me? (I know about the antialias options and the setting line_width doesn't seem to help.) A merry Christmas to everyone, and thanks for keeping such a nice mailinglist! Happy PyMoling in 2007, Pernille -- Pernille Haste Andersen, M.
