[PyMOL] color change upon ray-tracing

[Oganesyan, V. <Oga...@Me...>]

PyMOLers,

Upon ray-tracing PyMOL v1.6.0.0 (Linux 64 bit) changes the color and the mesh line width of the electron density maps. How can I disable this metamorphosis?

Thank you.

Hi Vaheh,

there should be no color difference, apart from lighting effects. Ray
tracing always draws cylinders for mesh, real-time rendering supports
lines and cylinders.

Real-time rendering and ray tracing should be almost identical with
these settings:

PyMOL> set use_shaders
PyMOL> set mesh_as_cylinders
PyMOL> unset mesh_radius
PyMOL> unset ray_shadow

Notes:
 - mesh_radius only applies to ray tracing and only if not 0.0, use
   mesh_width to control for both rendering engines equally
 - mesh_as_cylinders only available with shaders

If you still don't get the same, please send screenshots.

Cheers,
  Thomas
