Did you know... Cartoon gap cutoff With cartoon_gap_cutoff > 0, if there are missing residues along the protein backbone (e.g. missing loops), PyMOL will create a dashed cartoon loop segment if the gap (in number of residues) is shorter than the cutoff. New in PyMOL 1.8.2 Example set cartoon_gap_cutoff, 10 fetch 2xwu, async=0 as cartoon orient B//152-156/ Number of dashes The number of dashes is directly affected by the cartoon_sampling setting: set cartoon_sampling, 20 See Also cartoon dash cartoon_sampling
