Editing Lines (section)

=Usage=
<source lang="python">
# show everything as lines
show lines

# only show residues 50-80 as lines
show lines, i.50-80
</source>

==Examples==
===Example: Displaying dashed lines between two atoms===
The following commands will create a dashed line between two atoms.
<source lang="python">
# first, create two named selections
select a, ///A/501/02
select b, ///B/229/N
# calculate & show the distance from selection a to selection b.
distance d, a, b
# hide just the distance labels; the 
# dashed bars should still be shown
hide labels, d
</source>

Technically, the object ''d'' is a labelled distance, only the label is hidden. 
When ray-tracing the image, the dashes come out a bit fat. You can slim them with
<source lang="python">
set dash_gap, 0.5
set dash_radius, 0.1
</source>
before the 'ray' command.
