RE: [PyMOL] Producing publication quality images

[Michael G. L. <ml...@um...>]

It's not pretty, and this is easy enough to do by hand, but I've had 
enough people ask me about this that I hacked up a little rendering plugin 
just now.  Can someone grab it from

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mlerner/PyMOL/rendering.py

put it in $PYMOL_PATH/modules/pmg_tk/startup/ (or whatever it is you do on 
your OS of choice) and tell me what you think?
