Hasan, The "mesh_width" setting controls the thickness of the mesh in pixel units, or you can override that with "mesh_radius" to control the absolute mesh cylinder radius in Angstroms.
set mesh_width, 0.5 ray set mesh_radius, 0.02 ray Note that the size of the window determines the size of a pixel (even if you render at a much higher resolution) -- PyMOL attempts to deliver WYSIWYG at displayed resolution. That may explain why you were getting a thicker mesh than you wanted. map_double map-name can be used to double the sampling density of an existing map. Cheers, DeLano Scientific LLC PS. As for: > There is no documentation about customizing the isomesh of the > electron density maps. That is not entirely true -- but only current project sponsors have access to all available PyMOL documentation. I believe you are a member of a sponsoring lab, so please see http://delsci.info/dsc/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=command:isomesh and http://delsci.info/dsc/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=setting:mesh after logging into http://delsci.info/dsc > -----Original Message----- > From: pymol-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:pymol-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of > Demirci, Hasan > Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2007 6:19 AM > To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [PyMOL] customized "sleek looking" isomesh > > Hi everyone, > There is no documentation about customizing the isomesh of the > electron density maps. > The ones that I generated are really thick and I have to say ugly. > Is there any way to change isomesh thickness and make it look more > sleek? > By the way someone posted something like increasing the isomesh > density by playing with fft infrequently used options but i couldn't > manage to make it work. > thanks > > Hasan Demirci > Department of Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology & Biochemistry Brown > University > 69 Brown Street > Providence, RI 02912 > > (401) 863-3652 lab > (401) 226-7852 cell > > hasan_demi...@brown.edu >
