modify_vector_size

[Former user]

Hi,

I am trying to increase the size of the NMA vectors, which are produced by pymol (modes,..) command.

I could see that all vectors are assigned to a single object, which is then loaded by cmd.load_cgo(obj, 'vecs').

Is there any way to manipulate with the size of all cones and cylinders, by operating only on the 'obj' variable?

thanks

try the scale argument L

It did not work, it only increases their length without increasing their diameter (thickness), but I found another way. I used modevectors.py to increase their size. Their colouring does not follow a default colouring mode, where red arrows are longer, while these corresponding to motions of smaller amplitude are blue, but the script does more less what I wanted.

You can close this ticket, unless you know how to operate on all vectors at the same time, that is, as I said before, diameter/length of all CYLINDERS and the same for CONES.

thanks anyway cheers

thanks karol

true. that should be an easy fix in the pymol.dccm() function if you're interested in contributing.

Hey,

I would be potentially interested, assuming that we would not have do it now.

Let me know, please.

Sounds good - always happy to have folks contribute back :-)
