[PyMOL] Ray tracing problems
When I ray trace a surface, the colors on the surface appear to have a smaller color depth. In other words, there are finite boundaries between different shades of colors rather than a smooth gradient. Could the problem be color-dependent? Has anyone seen this? Any ideas how to fix it?

[PyMOL] Improve scene command?
On the wiki page for scene, it states: DEVELOPMENT TO DO Add support for save/restore of a certain global and object-and-state specific settings, such as: state, surface_color, ribbon_color, stick_color, transparency, sphere_transparency, etc. This would probably best be done by defining a class of "scene" settings which are treated in this manner. The current workaround is to create separate objects which are enabled/disabled differentially. This would be extremely useful, especially for making movies. Could priority for this be increased?

Re: [PyMOL] How to store matrix settings for individual scenes?
I think this is related to the question about view setting. I rewrote the png command (see below) to simultaneously output my image, but also output the entire matrix and viewport with same name as the image but with filetype .vew. That file can then be run with “@“ to recall the view. The output file also contains the name of the .pse file. If one wants this per scene rather than image, I assume one can rewrite the scene command too. from pymol import cmd import os import re import string # import selector def __init__(self): cmd.extend('png',mypng) def mypng(fname, quiet=1): r = 1 format = 'vew' cmd.png(fname, dpi=300, quiet=0) sname = fname if re.search("\.png$",fname): fname = re.sub("\.png$","",fname) fname = fname + ".vew" fname = os.path.expanduser(fname) fname = os.path.expandvars(fname) f=open(fname,"w") st=cmd.get("session_file") f.write("#Session file: " + st + "\n") f.write("#View matrix for " + sname + ".png" + "\n") st = cmd.get_view(output=3) f.write(st) f.write("#Viewport when rendered:" + "\n") st=cmd.get_viewport(output=3) f.write(st) f.close() return r cmd.extend('png',mypng) ___ Mark A.

Warren, Thanks for your hard work in preparing this version. It will be very convenient.

Warren et al. I checked, and my Powerbook G4 12" has nVIDIA GeForce4 MX, with 32 Mb memory. Always worked fine before. Realize that there are two different types of flicker. There is the usual mild flicker as one rotates a model (seems more than it used to be), and there is a more global flickering that is most noticeable in the menu area on the right of the screen. Still haven't seen the major flickering problem with b19.

I've tested two Kensington PilotMouse Laser Wireless mice and the middle button only works occassionally. I returned them for refund. I think the problem is what you said -- pressing activates the side- to-side scroll which overrides the middle click. I've also tried an MS Notebook Laser Mouse and the button didn't work either. I know that many other mice work --- probably the ones without the horizontal scroll. -Mark On Aug 22, 2006, at 5:07 PM, pymol-users- requ...@lists.sourceforge.net wrote: From: Ramachandran Murali Date: August 21, 2006 8:43:00 PM GMT-04:00 To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [PyMOL] kensington three button mouse in mac book pro-issue Hi, I am using Kensington three-button mouse on a Mac book pro (17") laptop.

[PyMOL] Wizard modification
Is there a way to modify the code of the Measurement wizard or to load a new copy of it? I'd like a Nonpolar neighbor option that will look for nonpolar atoms with > 3.0 and <4.1 Å from picked atom. I've written an alternative command to do this but it would be useful for students if it were in the wizard. Thanks, Mark _________ Mark A.

[PyMOL] Metadata for image
Hi Gilleain and Andreas, This is what I use to save information about the image. I redefine the png command. from pymol import cmd import os import re import string import selector def __init__(self): cmd.extend('png',mypng) def mypng(fname, quiet=1): r = 1 format = 'vew' cmd.png(fname, quiet) if re.search("\.png$",fname): fname = re.sub("\.png$","",fname) fname = fname + ".vew" fname = os.path.expanduser(fname) fname = os.path.expandvars(fname) f=open(fname,"w") f.write("#View matrix for " + fname + "\n") st = cmd.get_view(output=3) f.write(st) f.close() return r cmd.extend('png',mypng) This command will use the name that you specify for the png file to also output all of the view matrix to a file that is saved with the .vew extension. The png file is saved as usual. This idea could be expanded to save other things to the meta file (object information). -Mark _ Mark A.

[PyMOL] PDB changed CONNECT records
This was previously discussed in an archived email but I can't find it right now. Does the setting connect_mode=0 use the CONECT records in the PDB file or not? I think it does. Apparently in pdb code 1ABE, the CONECT records were changed in a 2005 revision. Two alternate sugar conformations are now interconnected when using the current 1ABE. The old 1ABE (from 1993) seems fine. Should setting connect_mode to 0 before loading PDB fix it? I don't think it does. Thanks, Mark _____ Mark A.

[PyMOL] convert surface from pymol into a CCP4 map

[PyMOL] Rebuild
If a model is modified, the "rebuild" command does not always update the surface. For example, show lines, theProtein and not elem H show surface show lines, elem H rebuild The surface does not change. But if I now, hide surface show surface the surface swells slightly to account for the hydrogens. Is this a bug? or a feature?
