Did you know... Rendering plugin Type PyMOL Plugin Download plugins/rendering_plugin.py Author(s) Michael G. Lerner License BSD This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo Description Here is a small plugin to render images with a given DPI. The "Draw" button just draws the image without raytracing (a fast way to see that the height/width look good). The "Ray" button raytraces first, before saving. The functionality is also available as a script (see my .pymolrc here). First the imperial version. The metric version follows. To install, save the script as e.g. rendering_plugin.py or rendering_plugin_metric.py and install via PyMOL's Plugin --> Manage Plugins --> Install menu. The plugins are available through the project, Pymol-script-repo.
