RE: [PyMOL] changing stick color

[Warren D. <wa...@de...>]

Some further explanation on how presets work:

The presets usually set a number of object-specific settings, such as
stick_color.

In the case of the ball & stick preset, stick_color is set to white for
the selected objects, and the radius is set to 0.14.  To change that,
you'll need to change the setting for those objects:

# load some object

fragment arg, my_object

# call the present function

preset.ball_and_stick("my_object")

# to query

get stick_color, my_object
get stick_radius, my_object

# to set

set stick_color, grey, my_object
set stick_radius, 0.2, my_object

# to restore the object to using the global defaults

unset stick_color, my_object
unset stick_radius, my_object

Cheers,
Warren
