CgoCircle = Overview = This script will create a CGO circle with the origin at the specified X,Y,Z coordinates. Also, you can specify the radius and the colors. See the examples. If you want to draw a circle around an object or selection, use circleSelection. If you want pure flexibility over your circle then use cgoCircle. There are two functions here: cgoCircle — creates a CGO circle at some user-specified location circleSelection —creates a circle around the named object or selection. Drawn circle. CGO circle. Circles of specified radius. Circle with specified width. Circle with a line width of 150. Pores anyone? Usage <source lang="python"> import math import pymol from pymol.cgo import * import random def cgoCircle(x, y, z, r=8.0, cr=1.0, cg=0.4, cb=0.8, w=2.0): """ Create a CGO circle PARAMS x, y, z X, Y ..→
