CBC

Util.cbc stands for (the utilities library's) color by chain. This simply colors molecules by their chains, as the name suggests.

The affects of CBC are shown in the following images.

Usage

# simple command
util.cbc selection, first_color, quiet

# api usage
util.cbc(selection='(all)',first_color=7,quiet=1,legacy=0,_self=cmd)

where

  • selection defaults to 'all',
  • first_color defaults to 7,
  • quiet defaults to 1

Example

# color everything by chain
util.cbc
