Launching From a Script

You can also script your launch. Here is an example script that launches PyMol for stereo viewing on a VisBox. It runs PyMol fullscreen stereo, and disables the internal gui.

 #!/usr/bin/env python
 
 # Tell PyMOL we don't want any GUI features.
 import __main__
 __main__.pymol_argv = [ 'pymol', '-Gi' ]
 
 # Importing the PyMOL module will create the window.
 
 import pymol
 
 # Call the function below before using any PyMOL modules.
 
 pymol.finish_launching()
 
 from pymol import cmd
 cmd.stereo('walleye')
 cmd.set('stereo_shift', 0.23)
 cmd.set('stereo_angle', 1.0)
