Sphere quality

Overview

sphere_quality controls the rendering quality of sphere objects.

Syntax

# the default value is 1
set backface_cull, <integer>

Larger values of <integer> result in higher quality sphere rendering. Note: Selecting values larger than 2 with stick_ball=on (enabled) causes PyMol 0.99 to crash in Windows.
