DESCRIPTION

save writes selected atoms to a file.

  • The file format is autodetected if the extension is ".pdb", ".pse", ".mol", ".mmod", or ".pkl".
  • If the file extension ends in ".pse" (PyMOL Session), the complete PyMOL state is always saved to the file (the selection and state parameters are thus ignored).
  • CLUSTALW formatted alignments can be written by PyMOL as well. Once you perform an alignment like the following,
 align proteinA, proteinB, object=A_on_B
the alignment can be written using:
save A_aligned_with_B.aln, A_on_B

USAGE

save file [,(selection) [,state [,format]] ]

PYMOL API

cmd.save(file, selection, state, format)

NOTES

  • When saving a session file, then "state" has no effect.
  • When state = 0 (default), only the current state is written.
  • When state = -1, then a multi-state output file is written (PDB only).
  • In versions 1.XX, a multi-state output file is written when state = 0 (which is not default)
