Re: [PyMOL] Pymol on MacMini: performances
Thanks Sabuj, I thought so, but couldn't be sure, as a lot depends on the quality of the drivers... w/o Direct Rendering (ATI drivers sucks!), my ath64 laptop with R9700 only manages to give me some 4 fps... that makes it all but unusable. so i was afraid to find myself in an even worst situation... Hopefully, PyMol takes advantage of Altivec... I'll give it a try. thanks again... luca Sabuj Pattanayek wrote: Hi, I can run pymol smoothly on my celeron-m 1.3ghz laptop with intel i855gmch embedded graphics chip. This has no dedicated memory and uses a portion of the 512MB system ram for graphics processing. The specs say that mac mini's come standard with ati r9200 with 32mb *dedicated* ram for graphics so you should have no problems. In general a dedicated ati or nvidia chip has more opengl capabilities than embedded intel or sis graphics chips. A $50 upgrade to 512MB would help tremendously however.

[PyMOL] Pymol on MacMini: performances

[PyMOL] multi-chain pdb (+ clipping)
dear Pymolers, can anyone suggest me a way to select in pymol the different chains inside a given pdb file? e.g: 1a07 has 4 different chain, two long ones belonging to the protein, and two small ones belonging to the ligands. It is possible to create an object for every one of them? thanks in advance luca ps: also: how can I set the z-plane clipping in such a way that when I load a new molecule the previous object are kept in view? is there any way of doing that?
[PyMOL] reading mol2 files with pymol
Dear Pymolers, I've read on pymol-users mail list (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1804599) that it is now possible for pymol to read directly mol2 files. This would be really handy for me, since I'd like to use pymol to directly read GOLD output without having to convert them. I've browsed the CVS repository: - is the file I'm looking for the one called mol.py? (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pymol/pymol/modules/chempy/mol.py) - or is the one called importing.py? (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pymol/pymol/modules/pymol/importing.py)? if neither of them is, could any of you please point me to the right one? many thanks, luca -- Universities are places of knowledge.
