Re: [PyMOL] Camera Orientation

Quyen,
 
If clipping isn't the effect you want, the solution probably lies in
increasing the camera field of view angle which will enable PyMOL to better
"get of inside" spaces without having nearby elements appear to intersect
the camera surface (or front clipping plane).
 
set field_of_view, 45
 
Cheers,
Warren

Subject: [PyMOL] Camera Orientation


Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding camera orientation.  I'm using pymol to explore
the surface of the peptide tunnel in the ribosome and would like to change
the camera orientation so that I can look around "in there" without getting
occluded.  Clipping plane is not useful because I don't want the surface to
disappear.  In a sense, I want to change the default camera orientation of
pymol from "looking in" to "looking out".  This is much like standing in a
room and looking around.  I think the answer lies in the 18 parameters of
set_view, but which should I change and how are these computed?
