[PyMOL] Transparency in cartoons

2008-01-22 Thread Toni Pizà
Hello!

I'm trying to show some aminoacids transparent in a cartoon view. I
use the command cmd.set(transparency, 0.8 ,(resi  + values[0] +
: + values[1] + )).

When i see the cartoon view, happens nothing, but if I use show
surface the transparency is shown. Do you know how to do it in the
cartoon view?

Thanks!

Toni

There is a separate setting cartoon_transparency. The Edit all...
option in the Setting menu provides an overview of all available
parameters. There are also predefined transparency settings available
in the Display menu.

 Thanks for your response, but I'm asking how to pass arguments to
 pymol's scripts written in Python. I type run nameOfScript.py within
 pymol for this, but I would pass some arguments, such as run
 script.py arg0 arg1.

The convential solution is to run a script that uses the extend command
(see help extend) to add a Python function as a new PyMOL command. This
command can take any arguments you define for the function.

Toni,

Set the cartoon_transparency, not just transparency.

Here's the appropriate PyMOLWiki link:

Hi Toni,

I think the variable you want to set is cartoon_transparency not
transparency.  The way I figured this out was through the
menu-settings-Edit All... dialog box.
