[PyMOL] old-school stereo and Lion

2012-03-22 Thread Patrick Loll
The imminent replacement of Mobile-Me by iCloud provides an impetus for me to upgrade to Lion; but I'm currently happily using old-school stereo (i.e., a CRT monitor + Crystal-Eyes LCD glasses) under Snow Leopard. Can anyone attest to being able to use such equipment with Coot/PyMol under LIon?

OK, this is weird. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard a month or two ago, I saw the exact same phenomenon that Ben describes (but stereo continued to work fine in Coot). I was too busy to follow it up, however. This morning, prompted by Ben, I tried again, and lo and behold stereo in MacPyMOL wor

[PyMOL] odd surface appearance

Hi, I sent this on New Year's Day, but didn't get much response (hung over?). Let me try your patience and ask again. I'm imaging the surface of a buried pocket within a protein. The surface invariably has a mottled appearance, with some sections having distinctly different coloring than

[PyMOL] woops

Naturally, 2 minutes after my post about RGB values I found 'em (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Color_Values). However, when I use these to adjust the CorelDraw colors they are still not as nice as the PyMOL colors, so I'm open to any wisdom. Pat

[PyMOL] matching colors

2008-03-05 Thread Patrick Loll
I'm making a figure that contains both an actual molecular representation (from PyMOL) and a simplified cartoon representation of the same complex (made in a graphics program, in this case CorelDraw). I want to match the colors between the two parts of the figure (or at least get close). Ho

[PyMOL] More MacPro questions

2007-08-27 Thread Patrick Loll
Thanks to all who offered help when I was trying to get hardware stereo working on my new MacPro. It appears that the two critical steps were 1) making certain that the refresh rate on the CRT was set to an appropriate value (default was too low) and 2) putting the Dock in the CRT window (

OK, I've got my spanking new Mac Pro with the (very expensive) NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 and I bought a shiny new ViewSonic G225f to augment my LCD display. I plug in the Stereographics E2 emitter...and now what? I'm not getting hardware stereo (which isn't surprising, it surely couldn't be t

[PyMOL] increasing resolution of PNG

I may be overlooking something obvious, but: How can I increase the resolution of the image that is created when I save a PNG file? They always come out at 72 dpi. I can of course increase the effective resolution by increasing the size of the window (bigger image x constant sampling = mor
