Tara, Use Python (and the run command with .py files). from pymol import cmd f=open('dist.txt','w') dst=cmd.distance('tmp','mol1///25/ha','mol1///26/ha') f.write("%8.3f\n"%dst) f.close() You could measure the whole protein this way by putting a loop around the distance command: from pymol impo

2003-01-08 Thread Tara Sprules
Hi, I have a file which measures a bunch of distances between atoms (of the form "distance (mol1///25/ha), (mol1///26/ha)"), and rather than having to look at the results on the screen I'd like to have the values output to a text file. Is it possible to do this? Thanks, Tara Tara Sprules Post-D

Oh, and if you already have installed pymol with fink, you don't need to do anything apart from installing Apple's X-windows. William G. Scott Associate Professor Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and The Center for the Molecular Biology of RNA Sinsheimer Laboratories University of Calif

Awesome! I was hoping Apple's new release might have this impact. In my hands the X-windows version of pymol on OS X went from unusable to almost as fast as the native version. Apple's GLUT driver can now bind to the hardware drivers under X11 at the same time as the Tcl/Tk external GUI

To get the fink 0.86 version of PyMOL running hardware accelerated on Mac OS X using Apples newly released X11 you will need to install both Apples X11 public beta and their X11 software development kit available here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/ You also need to get fink up and running.

Hi Dirk This might actually be a hardware affect rather than a software effect. The GeForce4 is undoubtably quicker that the GeForce 2 bu there comes a time when the actual CPU is lagging behind in the amount of data it can pass to the GPU- this also includes other limitations such as the graphics

Many thanks for the replies. I had forgotten the import statement (Doh!). Now working fine again. On a different note, one of the best features of 0.86, in my humble opinion, is the new scrolling objects list. Previously I've created sidechain objects to toggle individual sidechains on/off with o

Dear Gordon, I assume that you changed the default "nv" driver in your XF86config(-4) file to the Nvidia driver "nvidia". I've replaced on my private Pentium III (733 MHz) PC a GeForce2 GTS against a GeForce4 Ti4200 and I also observe less improvement than expected. Here are my observations: 1.

Hi I recently upgraded from a geforce 2 to a geforce 4 ti4200, and I don't really notice a performance improvment (running linux). I judge this based on how smoothly large sized proteins can be rotated with spheres on. Just wondering why? Thanks in advance Gordon -- Gordon Wells Department of B
