Settings PyMOL is incredibly useful because of its flexibility. Almost any setting can be tweaked to give you the ability to make your scenes appear just as you want. Each command usually comes with one or more settings. For example, the ray command comes with 50 settings! List of settings Below you will find the list of all known settings (as of this writing).
