Re: [PyMOL] clipping planes
Christian, you should be able to get the values from the tuple returned by get_view(). Looking into this would be a good starting point. from my old notes (origin unknown...): 0-8 is the 3x3 rotation matrix 9-11 is the camera location (I think -- been a while...) 12-14 is the origin of rotation 15-16 are the clipping distances and 17 is the orthoscopic flag.

I assume that PyMOL's clipping planes are simply OpenGL clipping planes, in which case the answer is "no". They're handled in hardware, not by the application. -Nat
[PyMOL] Clipping planes and slab thickness for different objects?
I have one object showing the surface of a protein and another object showing a ligand inside the protein. Is it possible to use the clip command to define different clipping planes for the 2 objects. I want so "cut" the proteinsurface using clip, but the Ligand inside the protein should not be clipped, but displayed completely. Thanks, Stephan Tatzel
[PyMOL] clipping planes
I don't understand how these work at all. Is there any straightforward way, given a structure's position and dimensions and the desired camera position, to calculate the ideal position for the plane? How does PyMOL decide where to put the planes? Right now I'm missing by a small amount and atoms disappear randomly. thanks, Nat
