Did you know... GetNamesInSel = Overview = This script returns the list of object names that exist in any given selection. For example, if you have 100 objects loaded (viz. ligand poses from small molecule docking) and select all atoms w/in some cutoff, then you have a selection. What objects are actually in that selection? This script will tell you. The Code <source lang="python"> from pymol import cmd, stored def getNamesInSel(sel, sorted=0, reversed=0, quiet=1): """ PARAMETERS sel, The selection, object or group to iterate over sorted (boolean), Should the list be sorted? reversed (boolean) Should the list be reversed before returned? (Combined with the above, you can return a decreasing-sorted list of names RETURNS list[] of strings, representing the object names desired. """ rList = cmd.get_object_list('(' + sel + ')') # if you want the list reversed or sorted, # uncomment the following lines if int(sorted): ..→
