SelInside

selInside selects all atoms of a certain type that are located within the bounding box defined by some selection. See examples.

Usage

# find all atoms inside the box spanned by (0,0,0) and (10,10,10)
# for the example PDB, 1hpv
fetch 1hpv
pseudoatom b1, pos=[0,0,0]
pseudoatom b2, pos=[10,10,10]
selInside b1 or b2


The Code

<source lang="python"> import pymol from pymol import cmd, stored from random import randint

def selInside(bounding_object, target="*", radius=None):

   """
   Selects all atoms of a given target type inside some selection that acts like a bounding box.
   PARAMS:
       bounding_object -- [PyMOL object/selection] the object/selection inside of which we want to choose atoms
       target -- [PyMOL selection] that defines the atoms to select.  Use "solvent" to select
                 only solvent atoms inside the selection
       radius -- [float] expand the box by this many angstroms on all sides
   RETURNS:
       (string) name of the selection created
