This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo

This scripts provides the stereo_ray command, which saves two ray traced images in PNG format. The left image is rotated +3 degrees and the right image is rotated -3 degrees.

Note that the end result is almost identical to using "walleye" stereo mode, which might be more convenient and is readily available in PyMOL.

Usage

[edit]
stereo_ray filename [, width [, height ]]

Example

[edit]
import stereo_ray 
stereo_ray output, 1000, 600

This will create two images, "output_l.png" and "output_r.png". Just paste the two images next to each other (in some image editing program) and you're done.

Left Image
Right Image
Combined Images


Manually

[edit]

To obtain the same result without the script, use the ray and the png command like this:

ray angle=+3
png left-image.png
ray angle=-3
png right-image.png

Obtain almost the same result using the stereo command:

stereo walleye
png combined.png, ray=1
