Did you know... CollapseSel = Overview = CollapseSel is a small utility function to compress strings for selections. So, if you have a selection with residues 1+2+3+4+20+21+22+100-120 this will return, 1-4+20-22+100-120. CollapseIDs is a small utility function to compress strings for an array of IDs. This does NOT have the logic for detecting duplicates, CollapseSel does. Example run /dir/to/collapseSel.py fetch 1cll select EE, resn GLU print collapseSel("EE") # # and PyMOL should output: # # 6-7+11+14+31+45+47+54+67+82-84+87+104+114+119-120+123+127+139-140 # The Code <source lang="python"> import pymol from pymol import stored def collapseIDs(ids): """ Helper function to make a smart list of IDs: eg turns 1+2+3+4+5 into 1-5.
