Hi, 

I would like to examine the approximate volume of different residues in a
protein. To do this, I would like to add a centroid for each residue, and
visualise the volume by using different sphere-sizes. 

Is there a built-in function to find center of mass for a selection of atoms?
The center command looks promising, can I get the coordinates of the center of
mass using that?  (feks using get_view() or similar?)

Can I add a centroid "atom" to a residue in PYMOL? Would it be translated and
rotated along with the residue if I move the structure around afterwards?

Any pointers much appriciated :) 

Cheers,
Siv
