RE: [PyMOL] Can I use the mouse to control multiple windows?

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

Michael,

Of course -- use ansynchrous Python threads to automate the process.
For example:

pymol test.pdb -l send.py &
pymol test.pdb -l receive.py

with the scripts below.  Note use of the lowercase "L" option to launch
PyMOL Python scripts in their own asynchronous thread.

Cheers,
Warren

# BEGIN send.py

from pymol import cmd
from time import sleep
import os

last_view =3D cmd.get_view()

filename =3D "view.txt"

while not sleep(0.2):
    cur_view =3D cmd.get_view()
    if last_view !=3D cur_view:
        if not os.path.exists(filename):
            open(filename,'w').write(str(cur_view))
            last_view =3D cur_view

# END send.py

# BEGIN receive.py

from pymol import cmd
from time import sleep
import os

filename =3D "view.txt"

while not sleep(0.2):
    if os.path.exists(filename):
        try:
            cmd.set_view(open(filename,'r').read())
            os.unlink(filename)
        except: # if the file isn't yet complete
            pass
       =20
# END receive.py


Cheers,
Warren
