Annotation wizard

Here's an example of using the annotation wizard (see top-left corner):

import pymol                                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                                            
# fetch a protein and setup the view
cmd.fetch("1oky", async=0)

The following source shows you how to use the annotation wizard for multiple objects.
