[PyMOL] running macpymol in the background from the terminal

2006-02-22 Thread Andrew Wollacott
hello, I'm running MacPyMol 0.99. I typically open pymol from the terminal ( terminal.app) using the "open" command. > open test.pdb I have .pdb files set to open with MacPyMol, so graphicConverter doesn't open when I do this. The problem I have when doing this is that when entering the "pwd"

Here's an example script that scratch-builds such an animation. Note that the "rotate" command seems broken in terms of the selections it currently accepts -- selection macros don't currently work, so you'll need to write them out long-hand as I have done below. # create a 4 state molecule fragm

Peter, PyMOL does read the alpha, but it doesn't support compositition with the software at present, so there is no practical use for this capability. set show_alpha_checker load transparent.png Will demonstrate that the alpha is read by adding a checker pattern to the background. It sounds, yo

Marc, Not exactly, but you can get pretty close with something like this: load protA.pdb load protB.pdb select siteA_res, byres (((protA & donors) within 3.45 of (protB & acceptors)) or ((protA & acceptors) within 3.45 of (protB & donors))) select siteB_res, byres (((protB & donors) within 3.45

[PyMOL] load_png doesn't support alpha (transparency)?

2006-02-22 Thread Peter Adrian Meyer
Hi all, I noticed today that when reading a png file using load_png, the alpha channel does not appear to be respected (regions of the png that should be transparent are not transparent but show up as white). Does anyone know if this by design, a bug, or something I'm doing incorrectly setting my

[PyMOL] animate angle bending

2006-02-22 Thread Sven Lammers
Dear pymol users, I'm struggling to figure out how to create an animation of an angle bending vibration with pymol, like this one http://www.ch.embnet.org/MD_tutorial/Images/Part2/a.gif My question is how do I correctly set the origin and axis so that I could use the rotate command to rotate
