# Hey :) # Here is a work around...
# First import the numpy module import numpy # Then store the viewing matrix as 6 by 3 numpy array. M=numpy.array(cmd.get_view()).reshape(6,3) # Now place a pseudoatom at the position of the camera # Turn off autozoom to keep the view set auto_zoom, 0 scale=1.0 cmd.pseudoatom("dummy",pos=list(M[4,:]-scale*numpy.dot(M[:3,:3],M[3,:]))) # The dummy can now be used to hide all spheres within a cutoff distance. E.g. hide spheres, all within 150 of dummy # You may need to play with the distance to get the right effect. # It is possible to use the distances of the original clipping planes, # by extracting those from the viewing matrix. # The 'scale' parameter can be used to adjust the effect. # If scale > 1, the dummy is placed behind the camera, which may be # required for a proper planar cut. # On the other hand, you can set it to < 1, to put the dummy closer to # the scene and cut out a spherical region. # Note that you can change the view after this operation and have a nice sideview # of a clipped system, or use it to clip a system multiple times from different sides. # Enjoy! # Cheers, # Tsjerk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
