Mset

mset sets up a relationship between molecular states and movie frames. This makes it possible to control which states are shown in which frame.

USAGE

mset specification [ ,frame ]

PYMOL API

cmd.mset( string specification [, int frame] )

EXAMPLES

mset 1         # simplest case, one state -> one frame
mset 1 x10     # ten frames, all corresponding to state 1
mset 1 x30 1 -15 15 x30 15 -1
# more realistic example:
# the first thirty frames are state 1
# the next 15 frames pass through states 1-15
# the next 30 frames are of state 15
# the next 15 frames iterate back to state 1

mset 1 x200 -78 -2 -78 -2 -78 x200 79 -156 157 x200 -234 235 x400 
# mset 1 x200 makes the first state last for 200 frames
# -78 -2 takes us FROM state 1 to 78, then back to frame 2.  I've repeated this for dramatic effect.
# Then we pause at 78 for 200 frames, then go from 79-156 and pause at 157 for 200 frames, etc.

cmd.mset("1 -%d" % cmd.count_states())
# this will create a one-to-one mapping of states to movie frames. useful for making movies from trajectory files.
