I find that in a large proportion of cases depth-cued graphics
without
stereo are enough (e.g. quickly examining a structure, rebuilding in
a
refined map, tracing at 2.4 A), and indeed I do most of my graphics
work on a laptop.
But, when you are lost in a poorly-phased 3.5 A map of a structure
I haven't used stereo since the last millenium - I don't miss it. You don't
really need it and it's not worth the expense/hassle to set up. In my opinion
it's just something to impress visitors!

I should apology for my unqualified remark (initiated by a personal note
to me). I do appreciate and like grasp.
From my experience, though, the appearance of an electrostatic surface
representation is so much dependent on the parameters, on the input PDB-file

I have found stereo essential for building low resolution structures where data
beyond 3.3A is not available, I must also say that I have found it unnecessary
for any structures which there is data (with decent phases) to 3A and beyond.
The question is, is it worth spending a substantial
It seems not so long ago that people were interested not only in stereo
graphics, but also in research into interactive gloves etc. for maximal
virtual reality in manipulating protein structures, feeling forces,
etc.

Full VR systems with motion tracking and are now affordable to most labs

Nintendo Wii remotes are about £25 and they do 3-dimensional motion
tracking. Perhaps we should by trying to use them for refinement
instead? They communicate via the Bluetooth protocol
For the benefit of overworked and stressed-out graduate students and
post-docs, funding agencies need to be convinced that the remotes cannot
be bought without the console.

Hi everybody,
I am trying to short out to fit a molecule into a density but having problem.
It is n-beta-octyl-glucopyranoside into a electron density of my structure. The
coordinate of this molecule I got from different from PDB.
n-beta-octyl-glucopyranoside was present in the crystallization
And obviously, each crystallography lab should invest in a Wii station with
a full complement of games - for training purposes.

Hi, all
I am drawing some stereo images with label by PYMOL. But the label interfere
with protein. I try to output to Postscript format so that I can change the
position of label. However, I can't output the image to Postscript format
in Pymol.
Is there anyboy know how to save image in
