Re: [COOT] [ccp4bb] Scripting for COOT

2017-11-17 Thread Edward A. Berry

Thanks,
Both could be useful- -c '(command)(command)'  when the parameters would be 
different each time and avoid creating a script file for each invocation, and 
-script scriptfilename for something I will use often but not always so don't 
want to put in my startup file(s).

We have used it in this way...

coot --pdb  input.pdb   ---auto  input.mtz   --script  script.com

and then, in file "script.com", you write the corresponding instructions...

(set-go-to-atom-molecule 0)
(set-go-to-atom-chain-residue-atom-name "B" 42 " CA ")

Would those be also on the command line, or where?


You can use them on the command line like this:

coot --pdb input.pdb -c '(set-go-to-atom-molecule
0)(set-go-to-atom-chain-residue-atom-name "B" 42 " CA ")'



[COOT] name of geometry window; centre_xyz?

2017-11-17 Thread Edward A. Berry

Is there a way to open the "geometry" window (the box you open by 
"measures":"distances and angles") in the initialization script, and perhaps set its 
position on screen as well?

Is there a way (interactively now) to center the screen at specified x,y,z 
coordinates (as opposed to centering on an atom)?

No, I will add it. It will be in 0.8.9.

[COOT] middle mouse button center versus drag

2017-11-17 Thread Seth Harris
Hello Paul et al.,

Click and drag on the middle mouse button is a quick and familiar way to
translate around the scene and navigate, generally working well. However,
if at the initiation of the click and drag I happen to be near an atom, the
fact that I'm holding down the mouse button isn't distinguished from a
single click and release, such that a re-centering first happens on
whatever atom I was over (often deep back in Z direction and off to the
side) and then the panning comes into play, but now I'm off horribly lost
somewhere random in the molecule. Anyone else noticed this? Is there a more
robust way to distinguish click and drag from click and release such that I
don't have to be sure to be over empty space when starting the drag (even
pretty faint atoms are still active)?

Thanks,
Seth

p.s. Thanks also for the "o" shortcut tip to jump NCS copies equivalently.
Works a treat!
