looks like scenes do not save settings. What you need is the "mdo" 
command to register the transparency with a particular movie frame.
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Mdo
Example:
mdo 1: set transparency, 0.0
mdo 100: set transparency, 0.6
This might also be interesting for you:

not sure about this right now, but does "matrix_mode" make a difference?
set matrix_mode, 1
See:

viewport 1024, 1024

Hope that helps.

Dear Users,
I was putting together some movies using pymol and I have some 
questions.
First, how can I gradually make a surface go from solid to transparent? 
Currently what I see is, in scene 1 I have it solid (0% transp.) 
surface. Then after I show some ligands and aa side chains in scene 2, I 
try to get the surface to look transparent (60%) in scene 3.
However when I reinterpolate and play the movie every surface will be 
60%, the last setting I entered.
Second, how can I make an object (ligand shown as stciks) rotate or 
flip? I can make it move using "translate" but this happens in a linear 
fashion.
Lastly, I like to save movies as pngs and later create the movie. How 
can I change the output frame size, e.g. 1024x1024?
Thank you so much for your time,

I'm trying to understand the map_new command, especially the "gaussian" option.
What determines the shape of the gaussian function? What is the relationship between the "b" factor and the variance (or the full-width-half-maxium) of the gaussian? How is the map normalized?
What does the "grid" option of the map_new command do? And the gaussian_resolution setting?
Daniel

Hi Anasuya,
your question is related to this one from September last year:
http://www.mail-archive.com/pym...@li.../msg09588.html
In short (example with heme as ligand):
select ligand, chain A and resn HEM
select shortrange, byres (polymer within 4.5 of ligand)
select midrange, byres ((polymer within 9 of ligand) and not shortrange)
Relevant reading:

Hi Andreas,
I forgot one step, sorry. The update.py script does not copy the header 
files from the include directory, so you need:
cd $VMD/plugins/include
cp vmdconio.h molfile_plugin.h $PYMOL/contrib/uiuc/plugins/include
Here I put $VMD and $PYMOL as the respective source tree roots.
Hopefully these were all steps now...
Cheers,
 Thomas

Hello ,
I want to extract out complete amino acid residues which fall "within a radius
of 4 to 9 Angstroms from the ligand".
What do I do in such a case, given the pdb id's, chain ID, the name of the
ligand and its residue id?
PS: I want to avoid, extracting out cmplete residues within a 0-4.5A first AND
THEN getting residues from 4.5-9A.
Is there a direct way to do this?
Please let me know.

Hi Andreas,
this error was introduced in the open-source tree with the updates from 
PyMOL 1.5. I'm not sure what the easiest fix would be, but here is how I 
got it to work:
Download the latest VMD source code and unpack it:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Development/Download/download.cgi?PackageName=VMD
In the PyMOL source tree, edit the file
contrib/uiuc/plugins/molfile_plugin/update.py
and point "molfile_src_path" to the correct path in the VMD source tree. 
Then run "python update.py".
In setup.py, comment out "cpmdlogplugin.c", "cpmdplugin.c" and 
"gaussianplugin.c" (they are commented out in update.py as well). You 
may use the attached patch.
Cheers,
 Thomas

Dear all,
driven beyond the reach of sanity by VMD, I've tried to enable the 
loading of DCD trajectories (from NAMD2 molecular dynamics simulations) 
in PyMOL. I followed the instructions given on this mailing list a few 
weeks back, specifically (setup.py):
- uncommenting "contrib/uiuc/plugins/include",
 "contrib/uiuc/plugins/molfile_plugin/src",
 ("_PYMOL_VMD_PLUGINS",None),
- changing the line underneath
 # VMD plugin support
 # switch the 0 to 1 to activate the additional source code
 from ] + 0 * [
 to ] + 1 * [
Compilation (python setup.py build install) crashes because of an error 
in the molfile plugin:
contrib/uiuc/plugins/molfile_plugin/src/basissetplugin.c: In function 
‘read_basis_metadata’:
contrib/uiuc/plugins/molfile_plugin/src/basissetplugin.c:208: error: 
‘molfile_qm_metadata_t’ has no member named ‘have_esp’
contrib/uiuc/plugins/molfile_plugin/src/basissetplugin.c:209: error: 
‘molfile_qm_metadata_t’ has no member named ‘have_npa’
contrib/uiuc/plugins/molfile_plugin/src/basissetplugin.c:211: error: 
‘molfile_qm_metadata_t’ has no member named ‘have_internals’
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
Have others encountered that? Is there a solution or work-around?
Thanks.

Hi Gudrun,

You may want to check your light position, or try a slighter blue.
> Is there a chance to keep the color and have less dominant lines for the mesh?
I'm not artistically skilled enough to know about less dominant lines, 
but the mesh_width setting can be used to make thinner (or thicker) lines.

The turn/rotate commands can be used fairly easily for 90 degree turns; 
but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking about.

Dear all,
I wish to ray trace my object so it looks nice. I have chosen a mesh as surface representation.
I did 
viewport 1024, 768
ray 1024, 768
But the mesh is black afterwards and not anymore blue.
Is there a chance to keep the color and have less dominant lines for the mesh?
Is there a chance to view the object in question for example in the XY, YZ plane? Are there somewhere easy rotation matrix available?
I tried to bring my object manually into the YZ plane view, for example, but it works only halfhearted. 
It would be nice to be able to tell pymol in a very easy way which view I would like to see the object.
Thank you for your patience.
Kind regards
Gudrun
 

Dear Gudrun,
I have no experience with PyMOL on Mac. Maybe this helps:
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Mouse_Controls
Deselecting objects does not help, because by default you transform in 
camera space, which affects all objects. What you need is transformation 
in model space, which is achieved by "A > drag" or "A > drag matrix" for 
a particular object.
Here an example to use the command line:
translate [10,0,0], object=axes
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
 Thomas

You can drag the axes object with the mouse. In the right panel, click 
on "A > drag" and then use Shift+MiddleMouseButton to drag it.
If you prefer the command line over mouse, you could use translate and 
rotate commands:

cmd.load_cgo(obj, 'axes')
The axes appear, but the screen in pymol is now split into two sections with the cross covering one part. Is there a chance to move the cross closer to the model in one screen section?
A bit like shown in picture on page http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Axes .
Kind regards

Dear all,
is it possible to show in Pymol a little coordinate cross with axes x,y,z, for example like in VMD, please?
I have a protein made from dummy atoms and there is no unit cell.
I just want to show clearly which plane is shown when presenting the model in my document.
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards

Hi Shane,
I have a script which saves a colored sequence in HTML format. See 
attachment.
Example usage:
 run save_colored_fasta.py
 save_colored_fasta seq.html
It should be possible to copy&paste the colored sequence from your 
browser to excel.
Cheers,
 Thomas

Hi pymolers.
I was trying to test our lab pymol installation from home.
But i ran into an error in freeglut, when executing over SSH.
I have found a solution, but is unsure what it does, and if means something
for
speed and 3D rendering.
*When I ran:*
*[software@elvis ~]$ pymol*
*freeglut (pymol): ERROR: Internal error <FBConfig with necessary
capabilities not found> in function fgOpenWindow*
*X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)*
* Major opcode of failed request: 4 (X_DestroyWindow)*
* Resource id in failed request: 0x0*
* Serial number of failed request: 33*
* Current serial number in output stream: 36*
* PyMOL: abrupt program termination.*
I found a solution here:
http://superuser.com/questions/203587/remotely-connecting-to-ubuntu-server-from-a-macbook-cant-run-pymol
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/1437/what-does-libgl-always-indirect-1-actually-do
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1682020
*I then changed the pymol exexution script.*
*
*
*[software@elvis ~/pymolsvn]$ ls*
*modules pymol pymolMPEG.sh pymolplugins Pymol-script-repo
 pymolsvn.desktop svnfreemol svnpymol updatepymol.sh*
*[software@elvis ~/pymolsvn]$ cat pymolMPEG.sh *
*#!/bin/bash*
*if [ ! -f $HOME/.local/share/applications/pymolsvn.desktop ];*
*then*
*ln -s /sbinlab2/software/pymolsvn/pymolsvn.desktop
$HOME/.local/share/applications/pymolsvn.desktop*
*fi*
*
*
*export FREEMOL=/sbinlab2/software/pymolsvn/svnfreemol/freemol*
*export PYMOL_GIT_MOD=/sbinlab2/software/pymolsvn/Pymol-script-repo/modules*
*export
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/sbinlab2/software/x64/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/PIL
*
*export
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/sbinlab2/software/x64/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/lib-tk
*
*export
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/sbinlab2/software/x64/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/lib-dynload
*
*export PYTHONPATH=/sbinlab2/software/pymolsvn:$PYTHONPATH*
*export
PYTHONPATH=/sbinlab2/software/pymolsvn/Pymol-script-repo/modules:$PYTHONPATH
*
*export PYTHONPATH=/sbinlab2/software/pymolsvn/Pymol-script-repo:$PYTHONPATH
*
*export PYMOL_PATH=/sbinlab2/software/pymolsvn/modules/pymol/pymol_path*
*export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/sbinlab2/software/x64/lib/pymollib
*
*export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=no*
*
*
*/usr/bin/python /sbinlab2/software/pymolsvn/modules/pymol/__init__.py "$@"*
It now works fine when running pymol.
And it also works when i set: *export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=yes*
*
*
But what is the fastest solution, so pymol can use Direct rendering?
Locally, when sitting at the computer and over SSH.
Best
Troels

Francis,
Great suggestion. We've taken note.
Cheers,

Would love the ability to have thicker outlines on labels. I need the labels in stereo so I'm doing this in pymol.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi Yuri,
I'd say yes. It runs under RHEL 6.2. In contrast to what was 
officially said, there is no requirement for python 2.7. Version 2.6.6 
works fine.
