[PyMOL] Label problems (PyMOL ver. 1.6)

[Yoshitaka M. <vir...@bi...>]

Dear Pymol Users,

I have installed PyMOL 1.6 built from source code on Ubuntu and Windows on June 23, 2013.
I've noticed that the label of distance (or angle) is not shown properly.

I describe the steps to reproduce:
1. load a PDB file.
2. select two atoms by clicking the middle button on the PyMOL Viewer (pushing a wheel of a computer mouse).
3. type ">dist" to create a distance object (dist01).

Then, a yellow broken line was produced between the selected atoms.
However, the label of distance (i.e. 2.2 Å) was not shown though the older versions (including v1.6-beta2) correctly showed.
Label of angle is the same.
It is also ineffective to select "Show -> label" of object "dist01" from PyMOL Viewer.

Please help me.

Thanks,
Yoshitaka

Hi Yoshitaka,

did you get the source code from SVN? On June 13 (after 1.6.0.0 release)
we pushed a label related fix to SVN, does that fix your issue?

Can you also check if it's related to shaders and if yes, tell us what
graphics card you have?

PyMOL> set use_shaders, 0
PyMOL> set use_shaders, 1

PyMOL> print cmd.get_renderer()

Cheers,
  Thomas
