Did you know... Stick radius ==Overview== This setting affects the radius of sticks in the sticks representation. Default scale is set to 0.25. In newer versions of PyMOL, one may set the Stick_radius on a per-bond basis. So, you can set for example, the radius of only selected bonds if you want. This is done through the Set_bond command. stick_radius set to 0.05 stick_radius set to the default 0.25 stick_radius set to 0.85 Syntax set_bond stick_radius, ''size'', selection where, size can be any float number. Using 0.25 (default value) is usually appropriate for most representations, although 0.15 migh be preferred for comparing closely related structures, e.g., conformers. Note: set_bond stick_radius by itself will revert to 1.00. If the above commands do not work You can do something like below <source lang="python"> To set on the entire object set stick_radius=0.1 ..→
