Did you know... Mview The mview command can store and delete movie keyframes. Keyframes store a view (camera or object position) and optionally the object state and/or a scene. Between keyframes, PyMOL will interpolate views and states, allowing for smooth animations. Before using mview, the movie timeline has to be set up with mset. Usage mview [ action [, first [, last [, power [, bias [, simple [, linear [, object [, wrap [, hand [, window [, cycles [, scene [, cut [, quiet [, auto [, state [, freeze ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] Arguments action = str: one of store, clear, reset, purge, interpolate, uninterpolate, reinterpolate, toggle, toggle_interp, smooth {default: store} first = int: frame number or 0 for current frame {default: 0} power = float: slow down animation at keyframe (0.0) or not (1.0) {default: 0.0} object = str: name of object for object keyframes, or empty for global (camera) keyframes {default: } scene = str: name of scene to store scene with key frame ..→
