[PyMOL] Question: general purpose "get_prompt" function

2004-11-04 Thread Ezequiel Panepucci
Hello People,

Anyone would know how to go about generating text messages
on the viewer window like the ones you get when using the
Wizard's get_prompt method, without having to resort to a 
wizard?

reason: I have a little script to deal with a trackball and
I use the buttons and scrollwheel to change the device's
actions. I would like to put a brief message letting me know
things I think I should know when I press buttons or scroll the
wheel.

Thanks much,
 Zac




RE: [PyMOL] stereo projection with PyMOL

Hi Joe

A very rough estimate
- 60% internal work, discussions with "wet" chemists, molecular
biologists and patent guys.
- 20% presentations for costumers and external collaborators
- 20% presentations for students (university, a few from high school)

The "show-off" effect is still good, as this kind of systems are not yet
very common. But it is very valuable also for real work, as it is much
easier to see than the 21" screen + shutter glasses, particularly if we
are more than two people.

BTW - apart from PyMOL, the system also runs VMD and InsightII
(Accelrys) in stereo. There are some pictures of the system here:
