[PyMOL] object-specific Z-clipping

2009-04-29 Thread Mankin Alexander
Dear all, Does anyone know whether object-selective z-clipping has been implemented in the newer Pymol version(s)? If not, has anyone found any solution around (since 2002 no new threads on the matter)? Thanks, Shura Mankin

[PyMOL] form and break bonds in movie

Hi there, First post here, so hello to everybody! I would like to produce a movie where covalent bonds break and form. However, when I load the .pdb files in PyMOL and play a movie, the bond status (formed or broken) stays the same as seen on the first state, even if bond lenghts change consi

Sorry, still not done (I have made two attempts, but both failed). While OpenGL supports arbitrary clipping planes, accomplishing this correctly in the ray tracer is a much harder problem that one might think... Cheers, Warren > -Original Message- > From: Mankin Alexander [mailto:sh...@u

BS"D There is a workaround to this problem, which I used in a different program and have suggested in the past to Warren and others. If getting the ray tracer to recognize the various clipping planes is difficult, this is probably the best solution. It would be helpful, however, if
