Old Page PyMol Labels DESCRIPTION label allows one to configure the appearance of text labels for PyMOL objects. It labels one or more atoms properties over a selection using the python evaluator with a separate name space for each atom. The symbols defined in the name space are: name, the atom name resn, the residue name resi, the residue number/identifier chain, the chain name q, b, the occupancy/b-factor segi, the segment identifier type (ATOM,HETATM), the type of atom formal_charge, the formal charge partial_charge, the partial charge numeric_type, the numeric type text_type, the text type All strings in the expression must be explicitly quoted. This operation typically takes several seconds per thousand atoms altered. To clear labels, simply omit the expression or set ..→
