Editing Launching From a Script (section)

== Example 1 ==

Here is an example script that launches PyMol for stereo viewing on a [http://www.visbox.com/boxMain.html VisBox].  It runs PyMol fullscreen stereo, and disables the internal gui.
The environment (PYTHON_PATH and PYMOL_PATH) must already be set up for this example to work (see [[#Example 2|Example 2]] below for how to setup within the script).

<source lang="python">
#!/usr/bin/env python
 
# Tell PyMOL to launch quiet (-q), fullscreen (-e) and without internal GUI (-i)
import __main__
__main__.pymol_argv = [ 'pymol', '-qei' ]
 
import pymol
 
# Call the function below before using any PyMOL modules.
pymol.finish_launching()  # not supported on macOS
 
from pymol import cmd
cmd.stereo('walleye')
cmd.set('stereo_shift', 0.23)
cmd.set('stereo_angle', 1.0)
