Pseudoatom pseudoatom creates a molecular object with a pseudoatom or adds a pseudoatom to a molecular object if the specified object already exists. Default position is in the middle of the viewing window. USAGE pseudoatom object [, selection [, name [, resn [, resi [, chain [, segi [, elem [, vdw [, hetatm [, b [, q [, color [, label [, pos [, state [, mode [, quiet ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] ARGUMENTS object = string: name of object to create or modify selection = string: optional atom selection. If given, calculate position (pos) as center of this selection (like center of mass without atom masses). name, resn, resi, chain, segi, elem, vdw, hetatm, b, q = string: atom properties of pseutoatom color = string: color of pseudoatom label = string: place a text label and hide all other representations pos = 3-element tuple of floats: location in space (only if no selection given) state = integer: state to ..→
