Dots
Overview
A simple PyMol representation. Use
show dots, SELECTION
where SELECTION is a valid selection or previously defined selection name.
Dots Settings
dot_radius (dot weight)
Controls the dot radius when ray tracing (that is, it is apparent only after the scene is ray traced). This option can take any value, values from 0 to whatever (4 is huge!) If dot_radius is set to zero, then it is subordinated to dot_width; if changed to a non-zero value, then dot_radius will take priority.
To check/change dots_radius:
set dot_radius, VALUE
# equivalent to
set dot_radius=VALUE
# to get the current setting, use
get dot_radius
- The default value is: 0
dot_width (dot weight)
This setting defines the size of the dots, in (screen) pixels. It is subordinate to dot_radius, that is dot_radius takes precedence over dot_width unless dot_radius=0.
set dot_width, VALUE
# equivalent to
set dot_width=VALUE
# to get the current setting, use
get dot_width
- The default value is: 2
dot_density (dot density)
Determines the density of dots in the dot representation. It takes only integer values from 0 to 4.
set dot_density, VALUE
# equivalent to
set dot_density=VALUE
# to get the current setting, use
get dot_density
- The default value is: 2
