You can use the cgo text (line or cylinder versions) as I mentioned in
my reply about drawing the xyz axes, but be warned that the labels
rotate with you molecule, so getting them oriented perpendicular to the
view may be a pain (unless there is something I've missed).
Warren's example from a previous reply of his:
# draw text using cgo
from pymol import cmd
from pymol.cgo import *
from pymol.vfont import plain
cgo = []
axes = [[2.0,0.0,0.0],[0.0,2.0,0.0],[0.0,0.0,2.0]]
pos = [0.0,0.0,0.0]
wire_text(cgo,plain,pos,'Hello World',axes)
pos = [0.0,-3.0,0.0]
cyl_text(cgo,plain,pos,'Hello Universe',0.10,axes=axes)
cmd.set("cgo_line_radius",0.03)
cmd.load_cgo(cgo,'txt')
cmd.zoom("all",2.0)
Cheers,
Robert
