Stick transparency == Overview == The setting "stick_transparency" allows one to set the degree of transparency for stick objects, independent of all other objects. Allowable values range from 0 (fully opaque) to 1 (fully transparent, i.e. invisible). Usage set stick_transparency, F, objectname set_bond stick_transparency, F, selection where F is a floating point number in the range [0.0 - 1.0], and objectname is the object to apply the changes to. If ObjectName is omitted, then the transparency of all stick representations will be changed. To apply this setting to a selection, use "set_bond" syntax set_bond stick_transparency, 0.7, */n+c+ca+o For the value of F=1.0 sticks will be completely transparent/invisible and for F=0.0 sticks are solid/opaque. Examples set stick_transparency, 0.50 # Makes sticks 50-percent transparent Open the images to actually see the details! <gallery> Image:Stick_trans_zero.png\|sticks ..→
