Save

DESCRIPTION

save writes selected atoms to a file.

• The file format is autodetected if the extension is ".pdb", ".pse", ".mol", ".mmod", or ".pkl".
• If the file extension ends in ".pse" (PyMOL Session), the complete PyMOL state is always saved to the file (the selection and state parameters are thus ignored).
• CLUSTALW formatted alignments can be written by PyMOL as well. Once you perform an alignment like the following,

 align proteinA, proteinB, object=A_on_B

the alignment can be written using:

save A_aligned_with_B.aln, A_on_B

USAGE

save file [,(selection) [,state [,format]] ]

PYMOL API

cmd.save(file, selection, state, format)

NOTES

• When saving a session file, then "state" has no effect.
• When state = 0 (default), only the current state is written.
• When state = -1, then a multi-state output file is written (PDB only).

• In versions 1.XX, a multi-state output file is written when state = 0 (which is not default)
