[PyMOL] Setting transparency for CGOs

2005-08-12 Thread tanrikul
Hi everybody, i've just created many CGOs, which show up solid surfaces like spheres and ellipsoids. Is it possible to set the transparency of some CGO's to i.e. 0.5 and leave the others solid? I've checked out the reference and the manual, and found something like: set transparency=0.5, object

Hi, I've done this by rendering two images (actually 4 to get stereo). One without the CGOs and one with them. Then I overlaid them with photoshop and changed the trasnparency of the CGO containing layer. I just used triangles and it looked rather nice. ~Lari~ ___

Lari, the way you've described is a nice workaround for images and presentations, which I had in mind, too. But it is not applicable while I am working with PyMOL online and want to make my CGO's transparent to see what is in them (including ability to rotate and zomm in/out the scene (which is n

Michael, thanks for your reply, this works fine for me. However, I thought there is a nicer solution on setting the transparency for cgo's after creation. Regards, Yusuf -- Yusuf Tanrikulu Bioinformatics Diploma Student Department of Biosciences Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe Univerity Frankfurt Siesm
