MacOSX-specific .pymolrc file
From PyMOLWiki
Here is an example of a ~/.pymolrc file that I use on Mac OS X. There are two main things going on here:
- It defines a bunch of aliases, including one that ribbonizes protein/nucleic acid comples (this could benefit from updating)
- It runs a series of pythonized pymol commands to permit interaction with the PowerMate Dial
_ feedback push _ feedback disable,all,everything alias clear, mstop; mclear; hide all alias nogui, set internal_gui=0 alias gui, set internal_gui=1 alias shiny, set spec_power=250; set spec_refl=1.5; set antialias=1; ray alias grab, os.system("open -a Grab") alias stop, quit alias exit, quit alias white, bg_color white; set depth_cue=0; set ray_trace_fog=0 from pymol import cmd # Define aliases for mapping in [x,y,z] rotations and translations into a single Powermate # dial.
