Re: [PyMOL] Setting transparency for CGOs

[<tan...@st...>]

Lari,

the way you've described is a nice workaround for images and presentations,
which I had in mind, too. But it is not applicable while I am working with
PyMOL online and want to make my CGO's transparent to see what is in them
(including ability to rotate and zomm in/out the scene (which is not very
doable in static pictures ;-)).
I'm familiar with scripting in PyMOL. Probably I can change any transparenc=
y
variable while creating my triangles, which result in my CGO's? Isn't there=
 a
implemented command in PyMOL, which does what I need?

Cheers,

Yusuf
