Update update transfers coordinates from one selection to another. USAGE update (target-selection),(source-selection) PYMOL API cmd.update( target ,source [,target_state=0 [,source_state=0 [,matchmaker=1 [,quiet=1 [,_self=cmd ]]]]]] ) ARGUMENTS matchmaker = integer: how to match atom pairs {default: 1} 0: assume that atoms are stored in the identical order 1: match based on all atom identifiers (segi,chain,resn,resi,name,alt) 2: match based on ID 3: match based on rank 4: match based on index Note that the meaning of matchmaker=0 differs in update and fit (also rms, rms_cur, ...)! EXAMPLES update target,(variant) NOTES Currently, this applies across all pairs of states. Fine control will be added later. SEE ALSO Cmd load
