[PyMOL] v0.99beta - dna ladder representation

I'm trying out the new beta version of PyMOL to make a figure with a DNA ladder cartoon. I was wondering if there is a setting for connecting the two DNA strands with a single bar instead of two short bars that don't quite connect and are not parallel. I don't need the DNA to be accurate just loo

[PyMOL] ED maps: ccp4 2 xlpor

Can anyone tell me how to convert my weighted .phs map from ccp4 to an xlpor map so that I can make a pretty electron density picture? I figure there must be a utility to do this out there since pymol only uses the xplor map files. Thanks. - Mark

[PyMOL] rtools pngseq

Does anyone have any experience with the pngseq command from rTools? I successfully got rTools installed and the movie constructed with rTools commands. I then tried to write the png files for each movie frame by creating a directory and then using an absolute path to it, for example pngseq C:\m

[PyMOL] ray-trace stop button?

Is there any way of stopping a ray trace once it has been started without closing pymol? Some of my ray trace jobs take too long and I want to stop them. I've also noticed that pymol doesn't close very elegently during a ray trace job. I'm working on a windows pc and the "end task" approach some

[PyMOL] v0.98 slow

I last used pymol about a year ago (not sure which version), but typical ray-tracing jobs of simple cartoon-ribbons etc took mere seconds to a few minutes at most. I just upgraded to the new v0.98 and made some similar figures, but the ray-tracing is taking 30 min to 1 hr or more. This is pretty
