dots takes 5 arguments now. It used to be 4. The documentation is not
updated as yet (since this is in pre-release). So you need another
text/string type of argument to name you dot object:
int dots(int imol,
const char *atom_selection_str,
const char *dots_object_name,
float dot_density, float sphere_size_scale);
B
Using Coot for OSX (stand-alone version 0.7-pre-1 revision 4040)
I see in the Docs (biop site):
4.17 Atomic Dots
You can draw dots round arbitrary atom selections
(dots imol atom-selection dot-density radius) The function returns a handle.
So, from the Scripting window I run:
(dots 0 "//A/228/CA" 1 1)
which results in:
Backtrace:
In current input:
6: 0* [dots 0 "//A/228/CA" 1 1]
<unnamed port>:6:1: In procedure dots in expression (dots 0 "//A/228/CA"
...):
<unnamed port>:6:1: Wrong number of arguments to dots
ABORT: (wrong-number-of-args)
Hmmm, I gave 4 arguments as said in the documentation.
But I can still use dots from the Extensions, so I investigate in the
extensions.scm code and I see:
submenu-representation "Dotted Surface..."
(lambda ()
(generic-chooser-and-entry "Surface for molecule"
"Atom Selection:"
"//A/1-2"
(lambda (imol text)
(let ((dots-handle (dots imol text
text 1 1)))
(format #t "dots handle: ~s~%"
dots-handle))))))
Now, I see two "text" arguments there, making a total of 5 arguments. I
guess one corresponds to the atom-selection as stated in the
documentation. But the second one?
Any ideas?
Best,
