Translate translate can be used to translate the atomic coordinates of a molecular object (move an object). Behavior differs depending on whether or not the "object" parameter is specified. If object is None, then translate translates atomic coordinates according to the vector provided for the selection and in the state provided. If object is set to an object name, then selection and state are ignored and instead of translating the atomic coordinates, the object matrix is modified. This option is intended for use in animations. The "camera" option controls whether the camera or the model's axes are used to interpret the translation vector. To move the object relative to the camera set camera=1 (which is default), or to move the molecule relative to the model's geometry, set, camera=0.
