View source for Cartoon side chain helper

== Overview ==

set '''cartoon_side_chain_helper''' is an easy way, in cartoon mode, to only show the side chain of a residue.

For residues represented in [[cartoon]] (but not [[ribbon]]) form, if you show the residue also in [[Sticks|stick]] or wireframe '''cartoon_side_chain_helper''' hides backbone atoms. Showing the sidechain in this method distorts the cartoon shape so it joins with the sidechain, effectively over-riding any [[cartoon_flat_cycles]] setting for that residue.

== Syntax ==

<source lang="python">
set cartoon_side_chain_helper, off            
set cartoon_side_chain_helper, 0              #off

set cartoon_side_chain_helper, on             
set cartoon_side_chain_helper, 1              #on
</source>
