[PyMOL] set_view based on origin and a vector

[Wei W. <ww...@co...>]

Dear PyMOL community,

I have a need to adjust my view point in python script. I want to achieve the following:

1. I have a origin with coordinates [ 0.4017522 23.15367207 6.68992345]
2. I have a vector/rotation axis [0.74, 0.18, -0.65]
3. I want to look directly down that vector using above origin.

Theoretically I should be able to use those information to determine the values needed to put in set_view. However, I’m not smart enough to do that. Would anyone please show me the way?

Many thanks,

Wei
