[PyMOL] Roving detail and Roving density

Dear all, I was looking at the demos in pymol (wizard --> demo) and saw interesting features called roving detail and roving density. I looked in the manual on how to do this feature but couldn't find it. Could anyone point me in the right direction or show me how to interactively displ

[PyMOL] making composite stick and cartoon pictures

I've been making pictures of a protein using the cartoon command. At times, I like to create a subset of residues as sticks and display them on top of the cartoon in a different color. The problem is that color of the stick residue changes the color of part of the cartoon under it. One way t
