Re: [PyMOL] load cgo into existing pymol session

[hari j. <ha...@gm...>]

Thanks a lot Tsjerk for your help.
I am using MacPymol  0.99rc6 . Both versions of the solution you presented
worked. The only thing I had to do was to run on the command line prompt
inside pymol.

from pymol.cgo import *

Then I could run either version you suggested to get the axes to show up
( with the obj still in the file)

execfile("/Users/hari/Desktop/test.cgo")
cmd.load_cgo(obj,"test")

OR ( with the obj = removed)

cmd.load_cgo( eval( open("/Users/hari/Desktop/test.cgo").read() ), "test" )


Thanks
Hari
