Get View get_view returns and optionally prints out the current view information in a format which can be embedded into a command script and can be used in subsequent calls to set_view. If a log file is currently open, get_view will not write the view matrix to the screen unless the "output" parameter is 2. This command is very useful for saving the orientation of a scene for later. Authors of molecular movies may find this command very powerful. USAGE get_view PYMOL API cmd.get_view(output=1, quiet=1) my_view = cmd.get_view() output control: 0 = output matrix to screen 1 = don't output matrix to screen 2 = force output to screen even if log file is open 3 = return formatted string instead of a list API USAGE cmd.get_view(0) # zero option suppresses output (LEGACY approach) cmd.get_view(quiet=1) # suppresses output using PyMOL's normal "quiet" parameter. NOTES Contents of the view matrix 0 - 8 = column-major 3x3 matrix ..→
