As

DESCRIPTION

as turns on and off atom and bond representations, where the available representations are the usual:

• lines
• spheres
• mesh
• ribbon
• cartoon
• sticks
• dots
• surface
• labels
• extent
• nonbonded
• nb_spheres
• slice

As in Python 2.6+

PyMOL has used the As keyword for years. Python recently reserved the As keyword for themselves and so PyMOL had to change the name of this command. The new command name is Show_as. For this, nothing else has changed, just the name of the command.

USAGE

as representation [, selection ]

ARGUMENTS

• representation = lines, spheres, mesh, ribbon, cartoon, sticks, dots, surface, labels, extent, nonbonded, nb_spheres, slice, extent, slice, dashes, angles, dihedrals, cgo, cell, callback, everything
• selection = string {default: all}

EXAMPLES

 
# show the backbone as lines
as lines, name ca or name c or name n

# show everything as a ribbon
as ribbon

PYMOL API

 
cmd.show_as(string representation, string selection)

NOTES

• selection can be an object name
• as alone will turn on lines and nonbonded and hide everything else.
