Mark, This is an issue I've run into, too. If the aspect ratio of the viewport doesn't match that of the final image the view is changed (atoms clipped, etc). One solution might be to setup the viewport using those same height/width commands we're talking about for ray. (Maybe also adding global settings: "image_height", "image_width".) Usage might be: # setup the viewport; DPI must be specified/assumed. viewport w=22.5cm, h=10cm, dpi=300 # ... setup your image. # ray trace the png imageName.png ,22.5cm, 10cm, dpi=300 Food for thought, -- Jason -- Jason Vertrees, PhD PyMOL Product Manager Schrodinger, LLC (e) jason.vertr...@schrodinger.com (o) +1 (603) 374-7120 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ PyMOL-users mailing list (PyMOL-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Info Page: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pymol-users Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net
