- stick_ball
- stick_nub
- stick_transparency
- stick_ball_ratio
- stick_overlap
- stick_valence_scale
- stick_color
- stick_quality
- stick_fixed_radius
- stick_radius
- set_bond
Example Settings
Color Sticks
Use set_bond to set stick-bond settings, like color:
set_bond 1foo and i. XYZ, color red
Sticks Radius (Sticks Weight)
To change the radius for sticks, enter the following:
set stick_radius, VALUE
where
0.0<=VALUE<=1.0
- 1.0 is 100% or full radius
- 0.0 is 0% or invisible -- so use at least 0.1 or greater
- The default value is: ~0.3
Sticks Transparency
To enable transparency for sticks, enter the following:
set stick_transparency, VALUE
where 0.0<=VALUE<=1.0
- 1.0 is 100% transparent -- so invisible
- 0.0 is 0% transparent -- so opaque
set stick_transparency, 0.45
