- all Objects and Selections
- public_objects (default)

EXAMPLES
Multiple alignments
# structure align all proteins in PyMOL to the protein named "PROT". Effectively a
# poor multiple method for multiple structure alignment.
for x in cmd.get_names("all"): cealign( "PROT", x)
Determine whether or not an object (objName) is enabled:
if objName in cmd.get_names(enabled_only=1):
print objName, "is enabled"
