Overview
This setting sets the style in which cartoon helices are rendered. The default is a helix with an ellipsoid cross section. Fancy mode helices are ribbons with tubular edges à la MolScript. Cylindicial mode renders helices as solid cylinders.
Syntax
To turn on Fancy Helices:
set cartoon_fancy_helices, 1
To turn on Cylindrical Helices:
set cartoon_cylindrical_helices, 1
To return to default helices:
set cartoon_fancy_helices, 0 set cartoon_cylindrical_helices, 0
