[PyMOL] mixing ray_shadows states

2005-11-21 Thread Nat Echols
I'm trying to make a high-quality figure showing ligand binding in a cleft, incorporating sticks, electron density, and some combination of cartoon/surface/lines for the protein. Ray-traced shadows make the perspective much clearer but also add visual "noise" - for instance, the electron densi

Re: [PyMOL] Another Nvidia question (7676 driver)!

2005-11-21 Thread Nat Echols
Any body know how to fix this. Have people tested this driver? Should I load an earlier driver? When dealing with NVidia cards, I've found this is always the first thing to try whenever a problem arises. Their Linux drivers are updated to support new hardware and fix old bugs, but they often

Hi folks, Sorry for the slightly of topic question but I figure you guys know whats going on. I have a linux box with RHE WS 4 and I have just installed the nvidia driver (7676 x86) which at least works so far! The problem is that the screen will occasionally (and randomly) start flickering

[PyMOL] apbs and pymol in fink (OS X)

I have the same problem on a mac G5 dual processor with newly compiled pymol 0.98 and apbs 3.2, installed by fink. Also occurs with the standalone mac/xll hybrid executable, calling apbs 3.2 using the plug in menu. Interestingly, the programs work fine together on my mac G4 laptop, with singl

RE: [PyMOL] saving multiple object in one pdb file

2005-11-21 Thread Warren DeLano
FYI: In the development code, I've added a new "segi" option to "symexp" that will automatically assign a unique segment ID to symmetry-generated molecules. This will allow a use case such as follows: % pymol load $PYMOL_PATH/test/dat/1tii.pdb symexp s, 1tii, 1tii, 20.0, segi=1 save packing.pdb,

Michele, Did you just migrate from an older version? We switched PyMOL over to perspective-based rendering (WYSIWYG with OpenGL) as the default at some point in the past year. You can still render orthoscopically if you'd prefer: load 1alk.pdb show surface set orthoscopic set hash_max=160 ray

Hi, I have a 2GHz G5, 6GB RAM, running OS X 10.4.3 server. I started doing some modeling after about 6 months hiatus. I'm using MacPymol 0.99b29 (no flickering with this). But it's slower than molasses. I get: Ray: total time: 16.16 sec. = 222.8 frames/hour (32.15 sec. accum.). This is sim

Sorry Viktor and Warren, but I don't think your suggestions are applicable. I have only a single protein molecule in my trajectory, which I kept centered at the origin, so it never traverses the periodic boundary. I did strip all but 20 waters from it using ptraj and created the appropriate
