[PyMOL] shadows on floors
I am try to create a picture with shadows visible on the background of the image. I have so far managed to create a floor, following the example of David Cooper (movies section of pymol web site) and create shadows on a grey and blue backgound. Is this the best way of creating a background, or is there a better way? But, I don't seem to be able to make a white background with shadows on (rgb 1,1,1 is white?). Is this possible? Is it possible to create your own background colours (set_color doesn't seem to work in the "floor.py" script in the example by David Cooper). Also as a side note, what are the rgb codes that pymol uses, are they standard 0 to 1 (the same as molscript) or 0 to 255? Using some of the rgb codes from molscript only seems to produce a grey background.

[PyMOL] Density sliders script
Dear PyMOL-ers, I have written a PyMOL extension which is useful when manipulating multiple density maps at once. This script creates a new window containing one slider bar for each map currently loaded into PyMOL, and creates an isomesh object for each map. By moving a slider bar, the contour level of the appropriate mesh object is changed interactively. The script is available from my PyMOL webpage, where you can also see a screenshot of it in action: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~gareth/work/pymol To use it, try the following PyMOL commands: run density_slider.py load any_old_map.ccp4 load another_map.ccp4 density_sliders Gareth P.S. I tried to add a button which, when clicked, would toggle the appropriate isosurface representation between mesh and solid ... but my Python/Tk programming leaves a lot to be desired! Maybe there are some gurus out there who can sort it out...? -- --- Gareth Stockwell EMBL - European Bioinformatics Institute Wellcome Trust Genome Campus Hinxton Cambridge CB10 1SD gar...@ebi.ac.uk Tel 01223 492548 http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~gareth
