A user on the PyMol list wrote a very nice little stereo ray tracing script.  Just copy this to a text file.  Then, in PyMol run
+
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
−
run dirName/scriptName.pym
+
import stereo_ray
−
where '''dirName''' is where you put it, and '''scriptName''' is what you named the file then run one something like the example lines given:
+
stereo_ray output, 1000, 600
−
<source lang="python">
+
stereo_ray MyImages.png
−
EXAMPLE
+
</syntaxhighlight>
−
  stereo_ray output, 1000, 600
 
−
  stereo_ray secondImage.png
 
−
</source>
 
 
This will create to images, one with an L and one with an R suffix.  Just paste the two images next to each other (in some image editing program) and you're done.

DESCRIPTION
 
−
  "stereo_ray" ray-traces the current scene twice (separated by
 
−
  a six-degree rotation around the y axis)
 
−
  and saves a pair of images that can be combined in any image
 
−
  manipulation software to form a stereoimage.
 
−
  The first argument, the output file name, is mandatory.
 
−
  The second and third arguments, the size of the image, are not.
 
−
  If the width is given, the height will be calculated.

Left Image
Right Image
Combined Images


Manually

To get a stereo diagram you need two images. The left image is rotated +3 degrees and the right image is rotated -3 degrees.

To obtain the left image, type: 

ray angle=+3
png left-image.png

Likewise, to obtain the right image, type: 

ray angle=-3
png right-image.png

You still use any other ray based modifications, such as: 

ray 1600,1200,angle=+3
png big-left-image.png

Example

import stereo_ray 
stereo_ray output, 1000, 600
stereo_ray MyImages.png

This will create to images, one with an L and one with an R suffix. Just paste the two images next to each other (in some image editing program) and you're done.
