Hi Suhaila, Correct me if I'm wrong but you want create *new* GUI elements for pymol to enhance your application, right?
To my knowledge, there is not a great tutorial on this, but I can give you some pointers to plugins that do this currently and hopefully you can backfill some knowledge. The first point I should make though is that, as far as I know, you *cannot* modify the existing PyMol windows, that is, you can't add an item to the menu you get when you right click on a protein or make it so there are additional per object menus on the right side of the screen for your application. Generally, for PyMol, your plugin interface is written using Tkinter, which is widely documented across the internet ( http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter ). http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Plugins_Tutorial provides a simple example of a plugin with a graphical interface. The __init__ adds your plugin to the menu bar in PyMol and tells PyMol what to execute when you click on the button. From there, it is just Tkinter with python and pymol scripting. The only pymol plugin I currently use with a graphical interface is the Autodock plugin: https://raw.github.com/Pymol-Scripts/Pymol-script-repo/master/plugins/autodock_plugin.py It's a pretty complex piece of code, but it is a nice plugin that seems highly reliable, so understanding looking at how it does things can probably help you solve any issues you have along the way. There are other plugins that you can find by browsing the pymolwiki that also use graphical elements and may also be helpful. -David On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 4:39 PM, Suhaila Haji Mohd Hussin <bell_beaut...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hello everyone. > > Is there any useful online reference that can be shared for me to learn how > to add GUI executed by Python script? > > I know PyMOL can visualize the protein just by typing in on PyMOL command > but my supervisor will grade my group project higher if we can make it more > interactive where the user can just use a mouse to click button or something > and less typing on command. > > Best regards, > Suhaila > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF email is sponsosred by: > Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here > http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure > _______________________________________________ > PyMOL-users mailing list (PyMOL-users@lists.sourceforge.net) > Info Page: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pymol-users > Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ PyMOL-users mailing list (PyMOL-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Info Page: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pymol-users Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net
