Did you know... Perp maker Type Python Script Download perp_maker.py Author(s) Jason Vertrees License MIT This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo The perp_maker.py script creates perpendicular planes. Nothing to do with cops. Given a simple PyMol scene, attempts to create a CGO background triangle perpendicular to the vector created - which is parallel to the line segment drawn through the camera point and current center of mass - as obtained by "get_position," or "get_view." Usage Load your scene Orient the scene as you wish Run the script Could it be any simpler? You can rotate and move the plane using the editing features (A > drag, Shift+Drag with right, middle or left mouse button).
