[PyMOL] label positions, centered, left, or right

[Seth H. <se...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Minor thing, but thought I'd ask...

Labels now appear to be centered on whatever atom they are labeling.
Previously, the left-hand side of the label was on the atom (left-anchored)=
.
Is there a way to choose whether the label is left-anchored, centered, or
right-anchored?

I find that it's hard to offset the label sufficiently with commands like:

label myprot and name ca, "    %s%s" % (resn,resi)

which used to get the label to float nicely just to the right of the atom.
Now that the label is centered the spaces don't help push the labels over a=
s
much as they used to, and the obvious route of adding twice as many spaces
somehow isn't getting me there. I thought there might be an anchor, align,
or justification flag on the labels.

I did also notice that in editing mode you can drag the labels to whatever
position you wanted in recent betas.  Very nice!

Cheers,
Seth
