[PyMOL] PyMOL input for the Mac and movie question

[Scott C. <cl...@uc...>]

Mac PyMOL users
A lab mate has a Microsoft 3 button optical mouse so I tried it out on 
my G3 powerbook  and it works very well with PyMOL. Yeah!!! I guess I'll 
have to but a mouse.


OK I am now trying to make a movie and I have a question
I start the movie out like this:

mset 1 x72
mdo 1: turn x,5; turn y,5
mdo 2: turn x,5; turn y,5
mdo 3: turn x,5; turn y,5
mdo 4: turn x,5; turn y,5
mdo 5: turn x,5; turn y,5
etc
etc

So I've made a 72 frame movie with 5 degree rotations about the x and y 
axes. If I'm thinking about this properly the molecule should be in the 
exact same orientation at the end of the movie (i.e. 72x5=360degrees) 
however this is not the case. Why?

Warren,
	could you make available the script you used to make the lambda 
demo movie that came with PyMOL? This would help greatly with my 
understanding of how to do more complicated motions in PyMOL.

Thanks,
Scott
