[PyMOL] The Wiki appears outdated or in error

[James K. <jim...@kr...>]

Among the export functions, a particular interest of mine is the as a

idtf file as "precursor" for a 3d pdf mentioned at

 

http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/3d_pdf

 

where I experience difficulties I want to address here.

 

   While the export via the CLI works fine for creating a *.png picture

or a VRML *.wrl-geometry, the similar export as *.idtf creates only a

header to describe the scenery, but not the (expected) spheres and tubes

to represent atoms and molecular bonds.  The file generated is the same,

regardless if I request the data export via

 

save /home/user directory/target directory/test.idtf

 

or the recommended

 

save /home/user directory/target directory/test.idtf,*

 

Marking/highlighting the molecule in question does not alter the situation.

 

   The relative orientation of the model in regard to the observer is

provided, however, in the programs command line, like

 

3Daac=20.0, 3Droll=0, 3Dc2c=0 0 1, 3Droo=50.00, 3Dcoo=0 0 -50.00

 

  In addition, there is no *.tex file written -- well in contrast to the

pymol-wiki page -- that I would expect to be created in the very same

directory, too.  (This is contrast to jmol offering export as *.idtf

while simultaneously writing a *.tex file, too.)  Should I look up in a

different directory instead?  May be a mistake during the installation

be a reason why I do not obtain (yet) a functional *.idtf?  Do I need to

load another / an additional plugin to enlarge the export functions?

 

Thanks.

 

Jim
