Center center translates the window, the clipping slab, and the origin to a point centered within the atom selection. PYMOL API cmd.center( string selection, int state = 0, int origin = 1 ) NOTES state = 0 (default) use all coordinate states state = -1 use only coordinates for the current state state > 0 use coordinates for a specific state origin = 1 (default) move the origin origin = 0 leave the origin unchanged User Example Center around any given point # define the point as x=1.0, y=2.0, z=3.0; replace [1.0, 2.0, 3.0] with your coordinate. origin position=[1.0,2.0,3.0] # center on it center origin SEE ALSO Origin, Orient, Zoom
