Did you know... Transparency == Overview == Transparency is used to adjust the transparency of Surfaces and Slices. (For other transparencies in PyMOL, see Cartoon Transparency, Sphere Transparency, and Stick Transparency. Usage set transparency, F, selection where F is a floating point number in the range [0.0 - 1.0], where selection is the selected surface to apply the change to (for examples, see below). For the value of F, 1.0 will be an invisible and 0.0 a completely solid surface. Examples Whole Surface Change the transparency of the whole surface to 50%. # show all surfaces with 50% transparency. set transparency, 0.5 Image showing partial surface transparencies Image showing 100% of the surface with 65% transparency.
