Did you know... * FilterByMol -- Filter a directory of files, and save their ligands to disk (by molecule). LoadDir -- loads all the files of a type you specify from the path you specify and puts them into the group you specify (or none). Process_All_Files_In_Directory -- Do something to all files in a directory. The examples show how to print the disulfide bond lengths, then in general all sulfur distances (not necessarily bound). PythonTerminal -- Allows execution of python commands from the PyMOL command line. pdbsurvey -- Surveys the pdb for recently added structures that are relevant to a user-specified keywords list (in a text file) Read PDB-String -- Parses a string in PDB format to a PyMOL object. Monitor file continuously -- Watch a file on a separate thread and re-load when it is modified. XML-RPC server -- An API for controlling PyMOL remotely (from the same computer or on the network).
