==DESCRIPTION==
'''Show''' displays atom and bond representations for certain selections. The '''Show''' command, is one of the most often used commands in PyMOL. For example, you can ''show'' certain atoms as ''[[Lines]]'' or ''[[Sticks]]'' or ''[[Cartoon]]s'' or any of the following representations:
*[[lines]]
*[[spheres]]
*[[mesh]]
*[[ribbon]]
*[[cartoon]]
*[[sticks]]
*[[dots]]
*[[surface]]
*[[Label|label]]
*[[extent]]
*[[nonbonded]]
*[[nb_spheres]]
*[[slice]]
*[[cell]]

==USAGE==
show
show reprentation [,object]
show reprentation [,(selection)]
show (selection)

==PYMOL API==
<source lang="python">
cmd.show( string representation="", string selection="" )
</source>

==EXAMPLES==
====Example====
<source lang="python">
# show the backbone using lines.
show lines,(name ca or name c or name n)
</source>

====Example====
<source lang="python">
# show the ribbon representation for all objects
show ribbon
</source>

====Example====
<source lang="python">
# show all hetero atoms as spheres
show spheres, het
</source>

====Example====
<source lang="python">
# show only polar hydrogens
hide everything, ele h
show lines, ele h and neighbor (ele n+o)
</source>

==NOTES==
'''selection''' can be an object name.

'''show''' alone will turn on lines and nonbonded for all bonds.

'''show cell''' will show the triclinic unit cell, provided it's described in the PDB. For cell packing, you need a script. See [[:Category:Script_Library|The Script Library]] or [http://adelie.biochem.queensu.ca/~rlc/work/pymol/ Robert Campbell's Site]
