Re: [PyMOL] Saving Images
If you would like appropriately scaled images then you can set up your viewer to the appropriate dimensions eg for a square viewport 700,700 or rectangle viewport 800,400 If using a square I then use ray 1800,1800 this ray traces an image larger than your pymol window and allows you to save it. This will help with higher resolution images. Newer versions show a preview. You canuop the resolution by increasing the ray pixels Hope this helps J Peter Adrian Meyer wrote: Hi everyone, Each time I try to save images, Pymol writes 640x480 pixel image to the file. I wonder if there is a way to save images (png format) other than 640X480 pixel that is default. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Images are saved as either the size of the viewer window, or the ray traced size. The easiest way to get a larger image is to maximize the viewer window, and then save. To get an arbritray size, use the ray-tracer (ray 1024,768 ; png BigImage.png). Pete Pete Meyer Fu Lab BMCB grad student Cornell University --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

RE: [PyMOL] saving images
Thanks Scott. I have tried sticks (and it works) but it doesn't look very good for what I'm trying to show. The really annoying part about this lines issue is that it doesn't ALWAYS happen. And i can't seem to find any relation between the times it does save the lines versus the times it doesn't save the lines.THanks again -GC Greg Caputo Ph.D. Postdoctoral Research Associate Department of Medical Biochemistry Genetics Texas AM University College Station, TX 77840 (979) 862 3188 (lab) (979) 324 8645 (cell) From: Scott Classen clas...@uclink.berkeley.edu To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [PyMOL] saving images Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 09:38:45 -0700 Hi Greg, You might need to display your sidechains as sticks rather than lines in order for them to be visible when you write out your image file. Or perhaps, if you are not already doing it, you should raytrace your scene by hitting the "ray" button before you write out your image file.

I'm working with asingle alpha helix (~25 residues) with the residues displayed as lines, the backbone as a ribbon, and one or more of the residues as spheres. When i go to save the image, the lines are no longerpresent in the image, but still there in the pymol window. I should also note it's not a consistent problem. This happens about 60% of the time i try to save these images.Sometimes if i re-savethe picture, it works. ANy ideas?
