Re: [PyMOL] Coloring molecule after color_ramp

[Thomas H. <tho...@sc...>]

Hi Robert,

you again need to set the "surface_color" for the selected residues,
instead of using the color command. That these two are not synced makes
sense, you can for example have a half-transparent surface in one color
and a stick representation below in another color.

PyMOL> set surface_color, red, (sele)

By the way: you can omit the "selection" argument in your ramp_new call,
this would be for automatic ranging.

Cheers,
  Thomas
