Did you know... Get get returns the value of a setting. This command is very useful for determining the any setting(s) when writing a script. For example, with this command you can find out if the background is opaque, where the light source is, etc. USAGE get name [, selection [, state ]] Examples get opaque_background get line_width PYMOL API print cmd.get(string name, string object, int state, int quiet) Notes The API command will not print out and should be stored or used for comparison "get" currently only works with global, per-object, and per-state settings. There is currently no way to retrieve per-atom settings. SEE ALSO Set
