Overview

COM is a small script that returns the value of the center of mass of your selection. It also can translate the object of that selection to the origin.

Syntax

COM (selection=PyMOLSelection), [center=boolean]

Examples

# get the COM of the polymer
import com
fetch 4ins, async=0
COM polymer

# move some 'ligand' to the origin
COM ligand, center=1

DESCRIPTION

        get the center of mass of selection or move selection to the origin.

ARGUMENTS

        selection = string: a valid PyMOL selection {default: all}
        center = 0 or 1: if center=1 center the selection {default: 0}

        returns: center of mass: [ xCOM, yCOM, zCOM ]
