Rotate rotate can be used to rotate the atomic coordinates of a molecular object. Behavior differs depending on whether or not the object parameter is specified. If object is None, then rotate rotates the atomic coordinates according to the axes and angle for the selection and state provided. If object is set to an object name, then selection and state are ignored and instead of translating the atomic coordinates, the object matrix is modified. This option is intended for use in animations. The "camera" option controls whether the camera or the model's axes are used to interpret the translation vector. To move the object relative to the camera set camera=1 (which is default), or to move the molecule relative to the model's geometry, set camera=0. If this doesn't do what you want, consider Turn.
