Module psico.querying get_raw_distances can dump distance objects, created with distance. This script also provides the command select_distances, which selects atoms from distance objects. Warning: the atoms are hashed by coordinates; this could cause issues if coordinates are altered after distance objects have been created (see also dynamic_measures setting). Usage get_raw_distances [ names [, state [, selection ]]] select_distances [ names [, name [, state [, selection [, cutoff ]]]]] Arguments names = string: names of distance objects (no wildcards!) {default: all measurement objects} state = integer: object state {default: 1} selection = string: atom selection {default: all} Example <syntaxhighlight lang="python"> fetch 2xwu, async=0 ..→
