= Manual for Slerpy.py =
An extension to pymol that creates a moderately easy to use environment for doing keyframe animation.
General Use
At the pymol command line type:
import slerpy
This will load the extended commands. All commands in slerpy begin with the letter s. Pymol's tab autocomplete feature will work on the additional commands.
Important concepts
The main function of slerpy is to record a series of pymol views. A movie can then be created by interpolating between these views. A pymol view consists mostly of the camera orientation (that is, the orientation of the viewers eye with respect to the molecule). It also includes information about the clipping planes.
It is important to realize that most slerpy commands act on the "current" view. You can navigate among views by using the sn, sp, and sgo commands. If you've changed the view around with the mouse or you just want to know the number of the current view you can get back to the current view with the sc command.
