Did you know... Sphere quality ==Overview== sphere_quality controls the rendering quality of sphere objects. This setting only affects sphere rendering when not using shaders. Syntax # the default value is 1 set sphere_quality, <integer> Larger values of <integer> result in higher quality sphere rendering. Values >1 may result in poor performance during real-time rotation or translation. Note: Selecting values larger than 2 with stick_ball = 1 (enabled) causes PyMol to crash in the Windows version.
