[PyMOL] Focus depth

2007-05-23 Thread Thomas Blicher
Dear PyMOL users, I was wondering if it is possible to implement focus depth (also known as depth of field or DOF) in PyMOL. I have come across several links to DOF and it appears to be a common feature of ray-tracing programs. I imagine that it could work like the fog function - possibly in co

Implementing DOF in PyMol wouldn't be trivial and I'm not sure it's a priority/necessity. There are excellent open-source (and proprietary) rendering engines out there that can render better and faster than PyMol. Why re-invent the wheel... my 2 cents' worth :) However, aside from exporting

Hi Thomas, Just a as a note. A focal blur is not like a fog, but results from sort of averaging a series of images, with the in-focus plane being well-defined and the planes in front and in the back blurred according to the distance from the in-focus plane (and the aperture). Not completely trivi

Folks, Several parties recently reported problems computing local / in-vacuo electrostatic potentials in PyMOL 0.99rev9. The fix was trivial, so I've pushed out a 0.99rev10 release. If you haven't upgraded to 0.99rev9 yet, just skip forward to 0.99rev10. As usual, Mac/Win/Linux binaries for
