center translates the window, the clipping slab, and the origin to a point centered within the atom selection.

cmd.center( string selection, int state = 0, int origin = 1 )

# 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

-===DESCRIPTION===
+'''center''' translates the window, the clipping slab, and the origin to a point centered within the atom selection.
-   "center" translates the window, the clipping slab, and the
-   origin to a point centered within the atom selection.
 ===PYMOL API===
 <source lang="python">
-   cmd.center( string selection, int state = 0, int origin = 1 )
+cmd.center( string selection, int state = 0, int origin = 1 )
 </source>
 ===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
-   state = 0 (default) use all coordinate states
+* origin = 1 (default) move the origin
-   state = -1 use only coordinates for the current state
+* origin = 0 leave the origin unchanged
-   state > 0  use coordinates for a specific state
+== User Example ==
-   origin = 1 (default) move the origin
+* Center around any given point
-   origin = 0 leave the origin unchanged
