Cartoon cylindrical helices
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
The cartoon_cylindrical_helices setting makes cartoon helices appear as simple cylinders.
Changed in PyMOL 2.5: Cylinders are not straight anymore but follow the actual curved shape of a helix. Straight helices are still available as mode 2.
Modes
- 0: Off (helices will be rendered according to the cartoon property or settings like cartoon_fancy_helices)
- 1: Curved helices (since PyMOL 2.5)
- 2: Straight helices
Example
fetch 1bb1 set cartoon_cylindrical_helices, 1 as cartoon
set cartoon_cylindrical_helices, 1 | set cartoon_cylindrical_helices, 2 |
