Cache

From PyMOL Wiki

Cache manages storage of precomputed results, such as molecular surfaces.

Usage

[edit]
cache action [, scenes [, state ]]

where, the arguments are:

action

string: enable, disable, read_only, clear, or optimize

scenes

string: a space-separated list of scene names (default: )

state

integer: state index (default: -1)

Examples

[edit]
cache enable
cache optimize
cache optimize, F1 F2 F5

Notes

[edit]

"cache optimize" will iterate through the list of scenes provided (or all defined scenes), compute any missing surfaces, and store them in the cache for later reuse.

API

[edit]
cmd.cache(string action, string scenes, int state, int quiet)
