Description

This script creates fancy figures by introducing a focal blur to the image. The object at the origin will be in focus.

Usage

Load the script using the run command. Execute the script using PyMOL syntax:

FocalBlur aperture=2.0,samples=100,ray=1

or using python syntax:

FocalBlur(aperture=2.0,samples=100,ray=1)


For additional options, see the script comments.

Notes

  • When using raytracing, the image creation will take n times longer than normal, where n is the number of samples.
  • The script uses ImageMagick for creating the blured image. It has only been tested on Linux
  • The aperture is a purely arbitrary value and not related to f stops on a camera.
  • There is a bug preventing custom image sizes when not using raytracing.


Examples

FocalBlur aperture=1,samples=100,ray=1
FocalBlur aperture=2,samples=100,ray=1
FocalBlur aperture=4,samples=400,ray=1
FocalBlur aperture=4,samples=400,ray=0
