[PyMOL] Performance Tip: Texture Fonts

[Jason V. <jas...@sc...>]

Greetings,

Just a quick PyMOL performance tip: there is an option called
'texture_fonts' which when set forces PyMOL to render fonts using
textures.  This can dramatically increase speed for some cards
(because texturing can be very fast).  For example, on my machine
loading a complex scene _without_ texture_fonts set, gives me about 30
FPS.  After typing,
  set texture_fonts, 1
my frame rate jumps to 60 FPS.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

-- Jason
