Thanks Scott. I have tried sticks (and it works) but it doesn't look very good for what I'm trying to show. The really annoying part about this lines issue is that it doesn't ALWAYS happen. And i can't seem to find any relation between the times it does save the lines versus the times it doesn't save the lines.THanks again

Or perhaps, if you are not already doing it, you should raytrace your scene by hitting the "ray" button before you write out your image file.

I'm working with asingle alpha helix (~25 residues) with the residues displayed as lines, the backbone as a ribbon, and one or more of the residues as spheres. When i go to save the image, the lines are no longerpresent in the image, but still there in the pymol window. I should also note it's not a consistent problem. This happens about 60% of the time i try to save these images.Sometimes if i re-savethe picture, it works.   ANy ideas?

[PyMOL] Pymol and virtual reality (freeVR)

2004-09-14 Thread plbrown
I am seeking the most direct route to protein visualization in a Virtual Reality
environment.  If possible, I would like to integrate pymol visualization with
freeVR (www.freevr.org).  Any experience or thoughts?




[PyMOL] graphics with GeForce4 card in windows vs. linux

2004-09-14 Thread Eric Schreiter

Hi All,
I have a machine running WindowsXP and RedHat 9 with an Albatron GeForce 
4 Ti4800se graphics card.  I notice that when I run pymol in windows it 
is much faster and smoother than when I run in linux.  When I open PyMol 
in windows, it says Adapting to GeForce hardware... but does not say 
this when I open it in linux.  Any thoughts on how I can get pymol to 
run more smoothly in linux?  Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Eric




[PyMOL] saving images

2004-09-14 Thread Scott Classen

Hi Greg,
So when you say that sticks don't look very good I assume you mean they 
are too thick? If this is the case you know that you can change the 
stick thickness by changing the stick_radius value


set stick_radius, 0.1

Ciao,
Scott

You will need to download linux driver for GeForce 4 and install it under 
linux. The linux is not using the 3D-hardware accelaration without the 
manufacture's driver.
