[PyMOL] problem with dist

2004-05-17 Thread Michael Bovee
Hi,I'm running MacPyMOL 0.95 on a G3 Lombard/BronzeKeyboard 
Powerbook, OSX 10.2.8.


The ref manual says to measure distances you can ctrl-shift left, and 
then right click to select the positions to measure. I can ctrl-shift 
left click to select the first atom, but ctrl-shift right click doesnt 
do anything. My workaround is to ctrl-shift left click twice, which 
displays the path to the atom in the command history window. I can then 
copy paste them in behind a dist command.


Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

Thanks,
--Michael




[PyMOL] Pymol Scalabity - max atom display limit

2004-05-17 Thread Amit Chourasia
I am trying to use PyMol for doing viz on Nano scale structures which have
very different bonding structures than protiens,etc. So I will not be using
any bond generation algorithms. I provide connect info with atoms info in
pdb files which seems to be doing good.

I have a very general question.I am aware there is no staright forward
answer to this though.

I am just wondering how many atoms can PyMol handle on a modest machine.
(say 2 Ghz, Geforce 4 - 128mb, 1 GB ram).

OR
What is the biggest dataset you might have loaded and did not have
considerable problem?


Please let me know, your answers will help me in taking an educated guess on
Pymols limits.

Thanks
