Re: [PyMOL] Transparent Background in Educational Version

[Emilio X. E. <emi...@gm...>]

Hi Cris
Please include the ray=1 option in your png test.png, dpi=300 command or
use the set opaque_background, off instead of the set
ray_opaque_background, off command.

Commands to create a PNG file with a transparent background:

set opaque_background, off

png test.png, dpi=300, ray=1

*Opaque background*
