RE: [PyMOL] edgelines between molecules

[Mark A S. <sa...@um...>]

Balaji:

I've done this by making a surface of just the domain I want to  
highlight, then bring it into Photoshop.  Select the background, then  
invert the selection.  Then convert selection to path and then stroke  
the path.

Here is an example:

[ Attachment only sent to Balaji, available on request ]

Layer 0 is a regular surface of the residues involved in a dimer  
interface.  Layer 1 is the stroked path.  Layer 2 is a surface with  
charge potential of the entire region.  Displaying Layer 1 and Layer  
2 gives the desired figure.

Have fun,
Mark
