Hi Yeping - The `set_view` command sets the view matrix for the camera in PyMOL. Once you have the view you want set up in the viewport, you can copy the matrix to the system clipboard using the “Get View” button in the top GUI window and paste it into your .pml script, or print it to the console by using the `get_view` command.
Hope that helps.
