Overview

Centroid is a small script that returns the value of the geometric center (or centroid) of your selection. It also can translate the object of that selection to the origin.

Syntax

centroid (selection=PyMOLSelection), [center=boolean]

Examples

# get the centroid of the polymer
import centroid
fetch 4ins, async=0
centroid polymer

# move some 'ligand' to the origin
centroid ligand, center=1
