Re: [PyMOL] command question RE printing out distances to text file

[Robert C. <rob...@qu...>]

Hi Suzanne,

You can also get the distance printed in the external GUI or terminal window
by using the "cmd.distance" version of the command.  So either you can
assign the distance to a variable and print it or you can print the result
directly.

Assuming you have two selections, sele1 and sele2 specifying the atoms of
interest you could do something like this:

  d = cmd.distance(sele1,sele2)
  print sele1,sele2,d


Cheers,
Rob
