Re: [PyMOL] varying label positions

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

Hi Gregory,

we are working on improved label placement right now. So far,
label_position is just an object-level and not an atom-level setting.
However, you can actually drag each label individually in edit mode.
This is independant of the label_position setting and cannot be done
with a script. Example:

PyMOL>frag ala
PyMOL>label all, name
PyMOL>edit_mode

Now hold down CTRL and move labels around with the left mouse button.

Cheers,
  Thomas
