Re: [PyMOL] From scenes to movies?

[Dirk K. <dir...@ps...>]

Hi Martin,

your script works beautifully!!! Thank you very much!!!
I would like to understand two commands that you use in your script, for 
which I couldn't find any infos, neither in the manual, nor in the 
reference nor in the WiKi. Could you please tell me:
- what does "set scene_animation,-1" mean?
- what do the "mview store" and "mview interpolate" commands mean?

Thanks again!!!

Best regards,

Dirk.
