Hello PyMOL users,

I'm creating an export routine for a third party application we release 
that allows PyMOL to read results from our analyses such that data can be 
overlaid onto 3D structures rendered by PyMOL. Basically I'm creating a 
script where I'm assigning some data to arbitrary atom properties, for 
example:

alter /1LPH//A/5, properties["lispro_5min"]=0.40
alter /1LPH//A/5, properties["insulin_5min"]=0.55
alter /1LPH//A/6, properties["lispro_5min"]=0.42
alter /1LPH//A/6, properties["insulin_5min"]=0.48

Now one really neat thing I noticed was if I do a None assignment for any 
given property:

alter /1LPH//A, properties["lispro_5min"]=None

I can then select these properties for coloring operations via the 
Spectrum command in the GUI. This is fantastic by the way, as it will 
allow users not familiar with the command line at least some level of 
access to the imported data. Without the None assignment, the properties 
aren't visible in the context menu, I suspect because the data I'm 
populating is sparse (not every residue has data)-- confirmation on this 
would be appreciated.

As I'm a novice PyMOL user, I have a few other questions:

Is assigning data to arbitrary properties "OK", or is there a preferred 
other method? I'll point out I'm working with multi-dimensional data, so 
simply replacing the b-factor data (for example) is not an option as I'll 
have several sets of data to associated with any residue.

Am I able to use these properties to form selections? For example, I'd 
like to be able to select any residues where a given property remains 
None, but I can't seem to build the proper selection expression.

Thank you all,
Michael
