Did you know... Mark center Type Python Module Download mark_center.py Author(s) User:Inchoate License BSD-2-Clause This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo Mark_center is a small callback that puts a cross at the center of space, where the camera is pointing. You could also use this to setup arbitrary CGOs (points, lines, etc) in 3D space. from pymol import cmd def crosshair_put_center(): t = cmd.get_position() m = [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0] + t + [1] cmd.set_object_ttt('crosshair', m) cmd.load_callback(crosshair_put_center, '_crosshair_cb') cmd.pseudoatom('crosshair', pos=(0,0,0)) cmd.show_as('nonbonded', 'crosshair')
