Did you know... Symmetry Axis <source lang="python"> Pymol script copyright Matthew O'Meara and Xavier Ambroggio 2007 Last updated Nov 29, 2007 Draw an axis given a point and a direction. Optionally give color, length and width. Usage: from the pymol menu click file->run... then find this file. Then at the prompt, type draw_axis x,y,z, i,k,j where (x,y,z) is the point and (i,k,j) is the direction Also one can run the script as follows draw_axis x,y,z, i,k,j, length r,g,b, width, where (r,g,b) is the color for the line in red, green, colors, width is the thickness of the line and length is the length of the line. For a fun example of the script run from the command line after the script is loaded draw_axis_example from pymol.cgo import * # get constants from pymol import cmd import math class Counter: def __init__(self): self.state = 1 counter = Counter() def draw_axis(x=None, ..→
