Re: [PyMOL] drawing of objects for illustration

Hi Nicolas,

Cool idea.  First the "witihin" operator works on more than just
single atoms.  So, how about something like this:

# fetch a protein
fetch 1oky, async=0

# let's target _all_ atoms within 8 Angs of _all_ of
# residue 55, not just one atom
select target, all within 8 of i. 55
color red, target

cmd.center("i. 55")
vPos = cmd.get_position()

cmd.pseudoatom("identifier",pos= vPos);
show_as spheres, identifier
cmd.set("sphere_transparency", 0.5, "identifier")
cmd.set("sphere_scale", 8, "identifier")

In sum, use pseudoatom for and position it at vPos.

Cheers,

-- Jason
