[PyMOL] RE: making a movie

2005-02-03 Thread dieter blaas
Hi,
 this works now fine and I get a movie. However, when trying to save it 
with "mpng mov" I I get a single frame only, and with "mpng mov #" I get 
a series of frames in which all pictures are overlayed sequentially. I.e. 
the first frame has the first picture, the second has the first plus the 
second picture one over the other and so forth. The very last picture is 
then a big blop of all states looking like a collection of all conformations  
as you might see it in a very bad NMR structure. What is wrong?
Cheers, Dieter

[PyMOL] Ver0.98: Regarding old configurations...

2005-02-03 Thread Warren DeLano
Is there anyone out there:

1) still running PyMOL on RedHat 6.2-7.1? or can we migrate out
lowest-common-denomator Linux build to RH 7.2? 

2) using Python 1.52 with PyMOL?

3) currently depending upon the Numeric or Numarray included with various
PyMOL builds?  If so, then which one?

4) running PyMOL under Windows NT, Win98, or Win ME? 

If so, then please speak up -- or forever hold your peace.

Thanks for your feedback.

Cheers,
Warren

Re: [PyMOL] Desparate call for help

Just a couple of quick thoughts --

1) Does /usr/src/linux point to the original installed kernel soruces or
the updated kernel sources?  Some software will look in /usr/src/linux for
the headers, and if these aren't the headers for the kernel you're
actually using the module won't load.

1b) The compiled kernel has the exact version number encoded in it, as
does every module.  Therefore, unless you have the source for
2.4.21-27.0.2.EL, there is no (easy, safe, and guaranteed) way to compile
the module and have it work on your system.

2) Sometimes it is necessary to use an earlier driver.  I had to go back
several versions to get a friend's Inspiron 5150 to work - the newer
drivers just froze X.




[PyMOL] Desparate call for help

2005-02-03 Thread Joel Tyndall

Hi folks,

Firstly sorry for the non pymol question, but if I can fix this I can 
use pymol in 3D.


So the problem is  that I can't get my nvidia driver to work! As I hear 
the groans...I have tried many things to no avail.


Specs:

linux RHE3-AS
AMD-64 bit opteron dual processor
nvidia quad 980
kernel 2.4.21-4ELsmp
updated to 2.4.21-27.0.2.EL

I'm using redhat for other proprietary software requirements so 
unfortunately I xcan't use anything else. (we could make it work on 
fedora core 2!)


I firstly get the gcc_version check error. I can get around that by 
using export IGNORE_CC_MISMATH command.

I then get this:

"If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
  you either have configured kernel sources matching your
  kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
  on your system."

I don't have red hat support yet. The problem appears to be that the 
nvidia installer (nvidia...6629pkg2.run) is getting confused as to which 
kernel is running.


Has anyone else had these issues/knows any hints.

Many thanks in advance

J

[PyMOL] Centrosymmetric symmetry?

2005-02-03 Thread Thomas Stout
Has anyone ever been able to use PyMOL to expand the symmetry of a 
centrosymmetric space group?

I have tried twice, once in P-1 and once in P21/c.  Both attempts result in a 
core dump, but before asking Warren to examine his code, I thought I should 
check with everyone else and see if it works OK under other operating systems, 
other keyboard operators (i.e., not me), or what.

I'm using PyMOL v0.98b27 under Win2000 on one box and WinXPsp1 on another

Thanks,
Tom



RE: [PyMOL] Default colors by element

2005-02-03 Thread Warren DeLano
Note also that PyMOL beta versions now match Jmol's colors
element-for-element except for those few atomic colors previously defined in
PyMOL (just C,N,O,H,S -- I think)

Changing those colors is simply a matter of changing the associated color
name:

set_color helium, [ 0.4, 0.3, 0.7]
recolor

Carbons are the only exception, siince objects in PyMOL are given one of 40
default carbon colors in a repeating cycle so that separate molecules can be
visually distinguished.  To turn this off:

set auto_color, off

To get a Jmol-like carbon:

set_color carbon, [0.564, 0.564, 0.564]

load some_pdb_file.pdb

Cheers,
Warren

In the "Settings" menu on the external GUI, you can select "Colors..."
Then you will get a box with all the colours listed in it. You can
select a colour and then the "Edit" button (or just double click the
colour name) to see the colour.

Otherwise you can look in the source in the file: layer1/Color.c
to see the complete colour listing at once.

Cheers,
Rob

[PyMOL] Default colors by element

2005-02-03 Thread S. Frank Yan
Hi,

Is there anyway to show the default color scheme of different elements?
The basics such as CHNOS are clear, but how about F, Cl, Br, I, P, Na,
Mg, Ca, etc?  

Thanks a lot,
Frank

show sticks
set valence, on
set stick_ball, on
set stick_ball_ratio, 3
set stick_radius, 0.12

You may wish to play with the exact values to get the look you want.
