Did you know...
volume_color set or get the volume colors.
Usage
volume_color name [, ramp ]
Arguments
- name = str: volume object name
- ramp = str, list or empty: named ramp, space delimited string or list with (x, color, alpha, ...) or (x, r, g, b, alpha, ...) values. If empty, get the current volume colors.
Examples
Setting volume colors with one line:
fetch 1a00, map, type=2fofc, async=0
volume vol, map
volume_color vol, .8 cyan 0. 1. blue .3 2. yellow .3
Using a named color ramp:
volume_ramp_new cyanblueyellow, \
.8 cyan 0. \
1. blue .3 \
2. yellow .3
volume_color vol, cyanblueyellow
Getting the current volume ramp:
PyMOL>volume_color vol
