Did you know... FocalBlur Type Python Script Download focal_blur.py Author(s) Jarl Underhaug License - This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo 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=20,ray=1 or using python syntax: FocalBlur(aperture=2.0,samples=20,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 aperture is related to the aperture on a camera, and is inversely proportional to the f-number. Bugs FocalBlur uses the Python Image Library (PIL), a necessary components of PIL is missing in the Windows version of PyMOL There is a bug when not using ..→
