Re: [PyMOL] translation vs rotation

[Byron D. <by...@SL...>]

Mark -

For the label colours, I don't think you can colour independantly. You 
can work around this by creating duplicate atoms, colouring them the 
colour you want for the labels, and then labelling the duplicate atoms.

Can't help with the move objects - maybe try redefining your screen 
centre? I'm sure there is a better way than that however...
