The exact code to create it was,<br /> <br /> &lt;source lang=&quot;python&quot;&gt;<br /> fetch 1rsy<br /> set ray_opaque_background, 0<br /> ray 800,600<br /> png /tmp/out.png<br /> &lt;/source&gt;<br /> <br /> If PyMOL is working correctly, the transparent BG should appear as a checker board behind the image. If you see that, then PyMOL's working correctly. You also may consider checking your import options; some programs may substitute a default BG for a transparent one. Lastly, try searching around the wiki for &quot;transparent&quot; or &quot;gimp&quot; or &quot;photoshop&quot;. If we don't have much information, then after you find your answers, come back and let us know what you found.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Out.png|thumb|300px|center|Image with transparent BG.]]<br /> <br /> HTH,<br /> <br /> [[User:Inchoate|Tree]] 07:23, 23 April 2008 (CDT)</div>
