Editing Distance (section)

===EXAMPLES===
* Get and show the distance from residue 10's alpha carbon to residue 40's alpha carbon in 1ESR:
<source lang="python">
# make the first residue 0.
zero_residues 1esr, 0
distance i. 10 and n . CA, i. 40 and n. CA
</source>

* Get and show the distance from residue 10's alpha carbon to residue 35-42's alpha carbon in 1ESR:
<source lang="python">
# make the first residue 0.
zero_residues 1esr, 0
distance i. 10 and n . CA, i. 35-42 and n. CA
</source>

* This neat example shows how to create distance measurements from an atom in a molecule to all other atoms in the molecule (since PyMol supports wildcards).
<source lang="python">
 cmd.distance("(/mol1///1/C)","(/mol1///2/C*)")
</source>
or written without the PyMolScript code,
 dist /mol1///1/C, /mol1///2/C*
* Create multiple distance objects
<source lang="python">
for at1 in cmd.index("resi 10"): \
   for at2 in cmd.index("resi 11"): \
       cmd.distance(None, "%s`%d"%at1, "%s`%d"%at2)
</source>

<source lang="python">
distance (selection1), (selection2)

# example
dist i. 158 and n. CA, i. 160 and n. CA 

distance mydist, 14/CA, 29/CA
distance hbonds, all, all, 3.2, mode=2
