Editing Get area (section)

== Example 2 - starting with two components in separate files ==
<source lang="python">
# load components separately
load my_ligand.pdb
load my_target.pdb

# get hydrogens onto everything (NOTE: must have valid valences on the ligand...)
h_add

# make sure all atoms including HETATM within an object occlude one another but ignore solvent
flag ignore, none
flag ignore, solvent

# use solvent-accessible surface with high sampling density
set dot_solvent, 1
set dot_density, 3

# measure the components individually
ligand_area=cmd.get_area("my_ligand")
target_area=cmd.get_area("my_target")

# create the complex
create my_complex, my_ligand my_target

# measure the complex
complex_area=cmd.get_area("my_complex")

# now print results
print ligand_area
print target_area
print complex_area
print (ligand_area + target_area) - complex_area
