'''get_area''' calculates the surface area in square Angstroms of the selection given. Note that the accessibility is assessed in the context of the object(s) that the selection is part of. So, to get the surface areas of e.g. a component of a complex, you should make a new object containing a copy of just that component and calculate its area.

===USAGE===
 
<source lang="python">
 
get_area sele [,state[, load_b ]]
 
</source>
 
 
 
===PYMOL API===
 
<source lang="python">
 
cmd.get_area(string selection="(all)", load_b=0, state=0 )

= Example =
 
<source lang="python">
 
# load components separately
 
load my_ligand.pdb
 
load my_target.pdb
 
 
 
# get hydrogens onto everything (NOTE: must have valid valences on the ligand...)
 
h_add
 
 
 
# make sure all atoms within an object occlude one another
 
flag ignore, none
 
 
 
# use solvent-accessible surface with high sampling density
 
set dot_solvent, 1
 
set dot_density, 3
 
 
 
# measure the components individually
 
ligand_area=cmd.get_area("my_ligand")
 
target_area=cmd.get_area("my_target")
 
 
 
# create the complex
 
create my_complex, my_ligand my_target
 
 
 
# measure the complex
 
complex_area=cmd.get_area("my_complex")
 
 
 
# now print results
 
print ligand_area
 
print target_area
 
print complex_area
 
print (ligand_area + target_area) - complex_area
 
</source>
 
 
 
<source lang="python">
 
# example usage of load_b
 
# select some organic small molecule
 
select ligand, br. first organic
 
# get its area and load it into it's b-factor column
 
get_area ligand, load_b=1
 
# print out the b-factor/areas per atom
 
iterate ligand, print b
 
</source>
