Did you know... Pseudoatom pseudoatom creates a molecular object with a pseudoatom or adds a pseudoatom to a molecular object if the specified object already exists. Default position is in the middle of the viewing window.

If given, calculate position (pos) as center of this selection (like center of mass without atom masses). name, resn, resi, chain, segi, elem, vdw, hetatm, b, q = string: atom properties of pseutoatom color = string: color of pseudoatom label = string: place a text label and hide all other representations pos = 3-element tuple of floats: location in space (only if no selection given) state = integer: state to ..→
