[PyMOL] light source inside a molecule??

2004-09-08 Thread Scott Classen
Anton, Povray isn't very difficult, but it does take some time to get things working and looking good. If you are trying to make a quick figure for a talk this afternoon I suggest forgetting about it, but if you have some time to mess around...go for it. With that said I'll tell you how I do i

Thanks Scott. I keep trying to mess with the non-bonded size instead of the regular sphere size. Alex On Sep 8, 2004, at 2:38 PM, Scott Classen wrote: Alex, You need to create two separate objects one for your metal and another for your water create MG, (chain M) create WAT, (chain W) t

Alex, You need to create two separate objects one for your metal and another for your water create MG, (chain M) create WAT, (chain W) then you can change the properties of each object individually set sphere_scale, 1.2, MG set sphere_scale, 0.8, WAT good luck, Scott On Sep 8, 2004, at 2:1

[PyMOL] non_bonded size

2004-09-08 Thread Alex W. Smith
Is there a way to set the size of non-bonded spheres to two different sizes within the same residue? For example, I have a metal ion with a bound water and have both in the same residue but I want the metal ion to be bigger than the water. I have check the list archives and googled "PyMol non

Hi Scott, Thank you for the help. I'm totally unfamiliar with PovRay. When you say "You can write out the primitives from PyMol" what do you mean? Anton - Original Message - From: Scott Classen Date: Wednesday, September 8, 2004 11:00 am Subject: [PyMOL] light source inside a molecul

[PyMOL] light source inside a molecule??

2004-09-08 Thread Scott Classen
Hi Anton, from my experience Povray is the best tool for this type of effect. You can write out the primitives from PyMol and then create some beautiful scenes in Povray including multiple different types of light sources including lights inside of objects such as drugs/ligands etc. Scott On

[PyMOL] Hidden files in file browser

I think it would be nice if pymol didn't show the hidden files in the file browser, as there are usually quite a lot of those in a user home. -- All generalizations are false, including this one. -- Mark Twain

Hi folks: I was alerted to the fact that I made a mistake in my original fink install scripts for apbs and its dependency called maloc. The corrected ones are here: http://chemistry.ucsc.edu/%7Ewgscott/fink/info/apbs.info http://chemistry.ucsc.edu/%7Ewgscott/fink/info/maloc.info I can't put

[PyMOL] Reconstructing selections

2004-09-08 Thread Gareth Stockwell
I'm using PyMOL as my main visualisation tool, and have a question relating to the transfer of data from my application to the viewer. Inside my programs, I typically have a number of molecule objects, and on each molecule, have made a number of selections (of atoms, of residues or of chains). No
