[PyMOL] double bonds

[John D. <du...@mp...>]

Hello everyone,

hopefully this is a question which is not answered in some FAQ that I 
missed...is it possible to have PyMol show double bonds in a simple 
manner not unlike what would be found in a high school text book?  Just 
a black and white stick diagram?  Or perhaps the same, but using the 
dotted notation?

Thanks in advance,

John

you can try going into lines mode and turning on the valence display:

hide
show lines
set valence, 0.1

a higher value for valence spreads things out more.
i don't know of a way to get the dotted notation.
